How Does Dental Air Polishing Work?

Air polishing works by using a gentle jet of air, water, and fine powder to lift away plaque and stains, leaving your teeth clean and smooth, helping you to be confident with your smile.

  • A jet of compressed air, water, and fine powder particles is used to clean the tooth surface.
  • The use of powder particles, such as sodium bicarbonate or glycine, removes surface stains and plaque effectively.
  • Air pressure and water spray help wash away debris while polishing the enamel.
  • Reaches areas traditional polishing may miss, including between teeth and along the gum line.
  • Dental air polishing is minimally abrasive, making it safe for enamel and comfortable for patients.
  • Leaves teeth smooth and bright by removing surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco.
  • Supports gum health by reducing bacteria and biofilm build up.

The Benefits of a Hygiene Air Polish

Removing Built Up Plaque

Removal of plaque and tartar build-up using a dentalhygienist’spolishing treatment helps prevent the release of acids that are harmful to your teeth and gums. Brushing alone doesn’t remove the build upof dental plaque and tartar.

Within approximately 72 hours, any unremoved plaque will harden into tartar, which cannot be removed with a toothbrush, but can be effectively tackled by your hygienist.

Elimination of Stubborn Stains With Air Polish Teeth Cleaning

Certain foods, drinks,and medications, as well as smoking, can result in stained teeth. 

These stubborn stains can be removed using the AIR-FLOW system, a combination of water, compressed air,and fine powder particles that quickly and comfortably clean and polish teeth, even those areas that are difficult to access. 

This fast, comfortable method of teeth cleaning is suitable for most patients, including those with sensitive teeth, implants, bridges, veneers,and crowns.

Supporting Fresh Smelling Breath

Bacteria hiding below the gum line is a common cause of bad breath. Toothbrushes alone cannot reach below the gum line, but your dental hygienist is fully equipped to remove harmful bacteria and help keep your breath smelling fresh by completing a deep clean with an air polish teeth cleaning treatment.

Confidence Boosting

Knowing your mouth is fresh, clean,and healthy following a dental air polishing teeth treatment gives you the confidence that comes from knowing that your smile is bright, sparkling,and healthy.

Ensuring you keep up good oral health practices can often eliminate gum disease and decay, much like exercising to keep up bodily health. Yourhygienist can recommend a personalised plan to keep your teeth and gums in tiptop condition.

Why You Should Get Regular Dental Hygiene Visits

Regular visits to your hygienist will help identify any potential oral health issues at an early stage before they result in discomfort or require potentially costly treatment.

Dental Care Education

Most people brush their teeth but many do not do so correctly, which can lead to oral health concerns and ultimately gum disease. Your dental hygienist will be able to teach you the correct cleaning technique, as well as the type of brush and dental floss you should use for optimum dental care at home, to ensure you continue to support your health while in your own bathroom.

Detection of Oral Cancer

Your hygienist is able to detect the early signs of oral cancer. Oral cancer is highly curable if treated early. Your hygienist will offer you advice on the risk factors of oral cancer and how you can reduce them. You will be more at risk of oral cancer if you are a smoker, drink excessive amounts of alcohol, or are infected with the HPV virus.

Protection Against Gum Disease

NHS data suggests that 50% of those over the age of 35 suffer from some degree of gum disease.

Gum disease is reversible in its early stages, however, if left unchecked, it can progress and ultimately lead to pain, bad breath, and tooth loss.

Your dental hygienist can help safeguard your gums by removing harmful bacteria from below the gum line and get your oral health back on track using an air polisher dental hygiene treatment.
