What is AirFlow® Therapy?
Air polishing is a procedure which uses air & water pressure to deliver a controlled stream of specially processed powders in a slurry through the handpiece nozzle.
Fine particles of powders are propelled by compressed air in a warm spray and directed onto the surfaces of the teeth.
This pressurized jet of air, water and powder removes surface stains, plaque and other soft deposits such as food particles trapped in between the teeth.
AIRFLOW® Therapy isn't a typical air polishing treatment but an advanced version of scaling and polishing treatment!
Benefits of AirFlow® Therapy
Time Savings & Efficiency
Multiple studies have found that hand instrumentation of subgingival biofilm removal in deep pockets can take between 30-64 seconds, air polishing with glycine powder has been found to take only 5 seconds per site.
Superior Cleaning & Biofilm Management
It is gentle on the enamel of natural teeth, gum tissue and restorative and bonding materials, so it won’t cause damage to any surfaces.
It is also an FDA-cleared technology, so extensive research testing has been done on the safety of both the device and associated powders.
Comfortable Treatments
The spray mixture does all the work. With the fine grain powder, it just feels like water is being sprayed on the gums instead of a chunky, gritty material you might expect (and dislike) during your cleaning.
