There is no way to know if your post op issues were at all caused by the ozone injection especially since you had a previous history of those symptoms in the past which you believe were due to the Levaquin. Correct?

Yes, the levaquin caused all my health issues...but, because of that, I'm wondering if it was a good idea to get the ozone...I mean, it doesn't matter now because it's already been done, but no one at Dr. T's office explained any of this to me. If I would have known..I wouldn't have had it done. They were all talking about how wonderful it is, so I just believed them. What, exactly can happen to the eyes and lungs if not administered correctly? And also, if someone does suffer ill effects to ozone...does it go away with time or is it a permanent thing?

Also, what are some of the positives, if any, to the ozone injections? Especially for someone like me, who had it done after an extracted root canaled tooth?

Aloha Bryanna and everyone. I would really appreciate your feedback on my current situation. I am usually very healthy. I eat extremely well, get plenty of sunshine, and rarely get sick.

15 months ago I had a root canal on a bottom back molar, the one in front of the wisdom teeth(I don't have my wisdom teeth). The root canal tooth never felt right after the root canal treatment. It didn't hurt, but it just felt vaguely odd under it...like the body didn't like what had happened. I thought it might be because the crown was not adjusted quite right and so maybe too much impact, and I also suspected it might be because of the bacteria living in the root canal tubules.

I went back to the endo 14 months later, and he took a x-ray, and noticed a dark area...he suspected some infection. I went to a new holistic dentist also and he adjusted the crown a bit and did a panoramic x-ray and saw the same thing....a subtle dark area under the root canal tooth. He said an ozone injection into the jaw may help. I've always been a fan of oxygen therapy so I decided 'why not'. He drilled one of those tiny needles in through my jaw bone near the root of the root canal tooth.

Seconds after the ozone injection there is a burning sensation that shoots through your jaw into places I have never felt burning. I was sore after the injection and within 24hrs my sinuses started acting up. I am 35 and haven't had a sinus problem since grade school. As the next few days went on, the sinus draining became more intense, and my jaw also started to hurt and burn. The burning started to be similar to the burning I felt when the ozone was injected to begin with. My teeth started getting a bit more sensitive too and now I had acute pain under the root canal tooth. I have never had jaw pain in my life.

It appears as if the ozone injection has stimulated a massive infection...it has now been 6 weeks and my sinuses are still doing crazy things...massive mucus and a feeling like intense toxins are draining into the back of my throat.

I decided to have the root canal tooth retreated a week ago with the hope that it might just calm things down, and it only has made things worse...the pain in my jaw is getting worse and now behind the tooth on the top of my jaw it hurts to touch it....it wasn't like that before the re-treatment.

The ozone injection unleashed hell it appears. Have you ever heard of such a thing???

Anyway...thanks for listening. I feel I should probably go to a good oral surgeon and have the tooth taken out and have the extraction site cleaned well. Your insights will be most welcome as this is now keeping me from enjoying my life and my family.

Aloha, Mark
Just wanted to update everyone on my original post. After my first experience with ozone and talking to two other people who had ozone injections into the jaw, I feel it is extremely dangerous. The obvious result of my ozone injection was an instant and massive sinus infection. As I said, I hadn't had a sinus infection or any sinus issues in 20 years, and the day after my ozone injection my jaw was burning in places I didn't know could hurt, and my sinuses were draining intensely and within days the mucus got heavier and heavier. It took about 6-8 weeks before my sinuses calmed down and they never returned to normal until after I had the tooth removed.

There was some slight discomfort under my root canal tooth before the injection, but it was consistent and mild and had been present for a few months. My guess is that there was a slight infection of some kind that the body had totally in check and the ozone injection shifted the balance to the negative and all hell broke loose. Perhaps the ozone killed a 'friendly' bacteria which then allowed the more toxic organism to run wild, or perhaps the heavy oxidation itself created massive irritation. It's really hard to say but I am not the only one who has had a similar experience.

I haven't talked to a single person whose symptoms improved upon getting the ozone injection into the jaw9quite the contrary) and of course some suggest that the reaction might be part of some 'healing crisis' which is too absurd to go into now, but I can assure you it was no healing crisis of any sort...it was a poisoning of the worst kind.

Ozone injections around a tooth are one thing and are relatively harmless (and worthless), but injecting it into the jaw is a whole other can of worms.

Bryanna,

I want to say thank you for your kindness and wisdom. I applaud you hope you are blessed for the caring and compassion you radiate.


my quick question I hope you may have a moment to respond to is regarding root canals. reading up on these they sound dangerous.

just recently had one and have not even had crown placed. there is a dentist local who after researching Ive discovered does ozone therapy on root canals. I understand ozone is not 100% effective but was considering retreatment.

would prefer this route first as opposed to extraction (front tooth).

if you have a moment would be very interesting in your thoughts. thank you and best wishes for you and yours.
