Maintaining a bright and healthy smile is important for both your confidence and oral health. One of the most effective and gentle methods to achieve a polished, clean smile is through Airflow Tooth polishing. At our Brixton dental practice, we offer advanced Airflow Tooth polishing treatments, designed to remove stains, plaque, and tartar without the discomfort sometimes associated with traditional cleaning methods.
Airflow Tooth Polishing utilises a unique combination of a controlled jet of air, warm water, and sodium bicarbonate to gently clean the teeth. Removing plaque and any debris that may be present, Airflow Tooth Polishing can also help remove staining.
The powder, often made from sodium bicarbonate or glycine, is safe and effective, making it ideal for patients with sensitive teeth or those looking for a thorough cleaning without the use of abrasive tools.
1. Gentle on Teeth: Unlike traditional scaling, air polishing is a non-invasive procedure that does not involve the use of metal instruments. This makes it a comfortable option for those with sensitive teeth or gums.
2. Effective Stain Removal: Air polishing is particularly effective at removing surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, helping to restore the natural brightness of your teeth.
3. Plaque and Tartar Removal: The fine powder used in air polishing can reach areas that traditional brushes might miss, effectively removing plaque and tartar buildup.
4. Quick and Efficient: The process is fast, allowing you to achieve a cleaner, brighter smile in less time compared to traditional cleaning methods.
5. Ideal for Orthodontic Patients: For patients with braces or other orthodontic appliances, air polishing is an excellent method to clean around brackets and wires, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Because it is so gentle on the teeth, Airflow Tooth Polishing is suitable for use on most patients and comes with our highest recommendation. It can even be used on sensitive teeth, train track braces, and restorations.
We can offer Airflow Tooth Polishing to our patients during a visit to our dental hygienist. The treatment itself is less invasive than traditional ‘scale and polish treatments, and should not cause any level of discomfort.
