Airflow® Tooth Polishing

Airflow® tooth polishing uses compressed air to direct a gentle flow of water and fine, flavoured powder particles to clean your teeth and gums.

In addition to removing plaque and tartar along your gum line, it gets deep into your tooth crevices and behind or underneath appliances like fixed bridges and metal brackets to remove bacteria and food debris.

Why is Airflow® better than other teeth cleaning methods?

Airflow® has several advantages over traditional dental cleaning tools:

• More comfortable for patients. The Airflow® system can clean even deep pocket areas. The pressurised air can remove plaque and tartar build-up. This makes Airflow® great for patients with sensitive teeth.
• Better cleaning. Airflow® can get up to 5mm deep into periodontal pockets to remove bacteria and tough build-up.
• Faster cleaning. Your hygienist can complete an Airflow® cleaning up to three times faster than using traditional methods.
• No abrasive methods are used. Using Airflow®, the gentle water flow will not abrade the teeth like scraping and polishing with instruments does. This causes less damage to the teeth.
• Great for cleanings before dental procedures. Airflow® can remove 99% of the bacteria and endotoxins. This ensures that your teeth and gums are as clean as possible before procedures like orthodontic treatments and other treatments requiring sealants and bonding or even professional teeth-whitening treatment.

Does Airflow® use any cleaning paste?

Airflow® uses a fine cleaning powder to remove the bacteria and build-up from your teeth. The powder reduces tooth sensitivity because the fine particles fill in the tubules in your tooth enamel.

Can Airflow® remove stains?

Airflow® works very well on superficial stains from tobacco, red wine, coffee, tea and dyed foods.

Can you use Airflow® on crowns and bridges?

Yes! Airflow® is safe to use on crowns, bridges, veneers, implants and braces.
