What is Airflow?
Airflow is an advanced dental cleaning technology that utilises a combination of air, water, and a specially formulated powder to remove stains, plaque, and biofilm from the teeth. Unlike traditional scaling and polishing methods, Airflow is a non-invasive and virtually painless procedure, making it an ideal choice for patients who may be sensitive or anxious about dental cleanings.
How Does Airflow Work?
The Airflow system consists of a handheld device that delivers a controlled stream of compressed air, water, and fine powder particles. The powder used in Airflow is typically a mixture of purified sodium bicarbonate and glycine. This unique combination allows for the effective removal of surface stains and plaque without causing damage to the enamel.
The process begins with a thorough examination of your oral health to identify any specific areas that may require additional attention. Once assessed, the dentist or dental hygienist will use the Airflow device to gently spray the powder and water mixture onto the teeth. The high-pressure stream effectively lifts and eliminates surface stains and plaque, leaving your teeth feeling clean and refreshed.
