It is not a medicine but rather the essence of life itself- oxygen- but even better- super oxygen- in the form of oxygen-ozone therapy. It is the safest medical therapy ever derived, it plays an important role in health, healing, and our wellbeing.

Appointment times are far too short to scrape tartar, polish teeth, take x-rays or perio probe gums, and get the doctor to do an exam AND do patient education.
