Airflow treatment is an advanced dental cleaning method that removes stubborn stains, plaque, and bacteria from your teeth using a powerful yet gentle jet of air, water, and fine powder particles. This innovative system reaches areas that traditional scaling and polishing may miss, leaving your teeth feeling exceptionally clean and refreshed.
Airflow is ideal for patients looking to brighten their smile without whitening treatments, as it effectively removes surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. It’s also perfect for those with braces, implants, or sensitive teeth, as it provides a deep clean without discomfort.
How Airflow Treatment Works:
- Assessment – Your dentist or hygienist will examine your teeth and gums to determine if Airflow is the right treatment for you.
- Preparation – Your lips and surrounding areas may be protected to ensure comfort during the treatment.
- Airflow Cleaning – A fine stream of air, warm water, and powder is directed at your teeth to remove plaque, surface stains, and bacteria.
- Targeting Hard-to-Reach Areas – The gentle yet powerful spray effectively cleans around braces, implants, and between teeth, reaching areas that traditional cleaning might miss.
- Final Rinse – Your mouth will be rinsed to remove any remaining powder, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and polished.
