Dentistry by Shane Nelson, DDS, treats our extended “family” of dental patients throughout Overland Park and the Kansas City metro area with utmost comfort, safety, and their best interests at heart. We get to the root of problems like tooth sensitivity. In doing so, we provide real treatment that supports sustained health and does not merely mask or resolve symptoms of conditions for the short term. 

In addition, we use “natural” healers such as dental ozone for treating sensitive teeth and related conditions, such as cavities or dental decay. Ozone therapy offers many beneficial properties when resolving that sting of sensitivity.

The problem: Sensitive teeth 

Tooth sensitivity is frequently associated with and characterized by certain behaviors; for instance, when teeth come into contact with hot or cold temperatures or sweet foods and beverages. Commonly, teeth may become sensitive as a result of enamel erosion. Your teeth are covered by enamel that is stronger than skeletal bone. However, aggressive brushing and teeth-grinding habits can contribute to wear and tear. Tooth sensitivity can also be symptomatic of more extensive damage, which requires restorative treatment. This damage may come in the form of cavities, fractures, or even worn dental work that allows bacteria and other destructive substances to enter the tooth.

The solution: Dental ozone 

Ozone provides an array of pain-relieving or analgesic benefits. Due to this feature, ozone therapy at the dentist’s office can relieve the discomfort associated with sensitive teeth. 

In addition, ozone’s antibacterial wound healing and immune system boosting qualities may be delivered precisely to get to the source of distressing pain. Dr. Nelson may administer ozone in its varied forms to promote remineralization of the tooth. In this manner, a tooth whose structure has been weakened due to enamel erosion or decay may be strengthened. This non-invasive and conservative adjunct also prevents progressive conditions from worsening. With ozone dentistry, our office in Overland Park, Kansas, eliminates the need for costly, aggressive, time-consuming, and invasive restorative treatments. 

To find out more about how ozone can help you, call (913) 297-7800. You may also request an appointment at the office of Dentistry by Shane Nelson, DDS, from this website.
