Airflow® with your dental hygienist

Pannal Dental Clinic - dental treatments, hygiene airflow

Professional tooth cleaning is essential for maintaining healthy teeth. It removes harmful plaque known as Biofilm from teeth and gums and prevents gum disease (periodontitis) and tooth decay. Visiting your dental hygienist for the regular removal of oral biofilm will help you maintain healthier teeth and gums.

Oral Biofilm: the cause of dental disease

The bacteria found in oral biofilm can damage your teeth and its supporting structures such as the gums and bone that hold the teeth in place. This bacteria can also find its way into the body and cause serious diseases over time such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, pancreatic cancer and many other life-threatening diseases. Using hygienist treatments to remove dental or oral biofilm will help prevent many of these diseases.

FAQs

Have a question? We’re here to help.

  • What’s involved in the Airflow® method?

    The Airflow® unit directs a fine spray of water and Erythitol powder onto the surface of the teeth. The powder removes staining, biofilm and young calculus in a minimally-invasive way from all types of surfaces. 

  • What are the benefits of using Airflow®?

    The benefits of using Airflow® are that the process uses a gentle, minimally abrasive spray which can efficiently remove Biofilm whilst leaving soft and hard tissues unharmed. It is a comfortable and enjoyable hygienist treatment, for patients and dentists. 

  • Why not use the older, traditional method?

    A visit to the dental hygienist is quite often associated with pain and fear. While some dentists continue to use sharp instruments that scrape deep below the gumline and can be harmful to the roots of teeth, this type of abrasive polishing method is no longer needed. Furthermore, this traditional method has been clinically proven to only remove 50% of biofilm* in areas that are difficult to reach, allowing infection to continue to progress.

  • How long will my Airflow® treatment last?

    Depending on your diet and other lifestyle factors, the effects of air polishing can last up to 12 months. However, our dental hygienist would normally recommend you repeat the Airflow® treatment every 6 months to achieve the best results.
