ozone disrupts acid-producing bacteria in tooth fissures, suppressing regrowth long-term
After ozone treatment, long-term suppression of acidogenic and aciduric micro-organisms in POFCLs occurs due to disruption of the ecological niche and depletion of organic substrates.
What this means for you
The bacteria most responsible for tooth decay thrive in acidic environments they help create. When ozone disrupts that environment and depletes their food source, those bacteria struggle to reestablish — which may support lasting protection in the grooves of teeth where decay most commonly starts.
