What is Airflow hygiene treatment?
Airflow hygiene treatment is a modern, non-invasive dental procedure that uses a unique powder and air combination to gently remove plaque and stains from your teeth. This innovative technique offers a gentler alternative to traditional scaling and polishing, making it ideal for those with sensitive teeth or gum issues.
In our dental practice near Oxford, we prioritise the comfort and care of our patients, and we are proud to offer EMS Airflow for pain-free dental hygiene appointments.
Cutting-edge dental hygiene in Kidlington
Guided Biofilm Therapy and Airflow is a cutting-edge dental hygiene approach that surpasses traditional cleanings. It utilises advanced technologies to meticulously eliminate dental plaque and biofilm from teeth and gums. Our dentist in Kidlington has enhanced the dental hygiene experience by integrating the EMS Airflow system as standard in all dental hygiene appointments.
EMS Airflow revolutionises dental hygiene, offering a gentle yet highly effective solution for plaque and stain removal. A controlled stream of air, water, and fine powder particles enables Airflow to reach areas that traditional methods might overlook. This ensures a thorough cleaning, improving the overall health and appearance of your smile. The high-powered jet stream, while effectively banishing bothersome biofilm and cleaning tricky areas, is surprisingly gentle on your teeth, treating your enamel with respect.
