The power of airflow to maintain healthy gums and teeth

One of the most crucial things you can do to maintain the health of your gums is to schedule regular dental cleanings with a professional. Traditionally, teeth cleaning eliminates plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line by carefully scraping the teeth using manual devices or ultrasonic appliances.

What is airflow teeth cleaning?

It is a dental hygiene therapy that uses water, compressed air, and some powder particles to remove stubborn stains, discoloration on your teeth. This dental bleaching therapy is efficient to eliminate the biofilm of dangerous bacteria called dental plaque that develops on surfaces inside the mouth.

These three elements are blended into the powerful jet that eliminates bacteria from above and below the gum line and stains from your teeth.

How do dentists clean teeth with airflow system?

Your dentist would give a special mouthwash before initiating the airflow therapy to eliminate food particles stuck between the teeth.

Then, a colored dye is applied on the teeth surfaces to detect the existence of plaque deposits.

Now a jet of water combined with high-power air and sodium bicarbonate is sprayed from a regulated jet toward the teeth surfaces.

Even though the handheld tool is kept close to the mouth for spraying, it does not make contact with the teeth. Thus it differs from traditional teeth whitening procedures in which appliances like scalars are utilized to scrub the stains off your teeth.

Moreover, this procedure provides excellent results without any risk of damaging your teeth. This one treatment can remove all plaque and discoloration caused by diet and lifestyle. It is another excellent method for whitening teeth.

How much time does it take to complete?

This is a painless treatment; applying a gentle jet stream of water is used throughout the treatment, which is effective and safe for tooth surfaces. It takes probably 30 minutes to complete and is considerably three times quicker than traditional tooth cleaning techniques.

How long does the cleaning effect last?

This method entirely depends on your eating, smoking, and cleaning habits. If you enjoy drinking a lot of tea, coffee, red wine, and curries, you can anticipate the staining to return over a few months. Teeth can remain stain-free for up to a year if you rarely have these and brush them properly at home.
