What is Airflow Tooth Polishing?

Why should I get Airflow Tooth Polishing?

This treatment is very good at removing debris and superficial stains, but most importantly, it’s great at getting rid of plaque and tartar, the build-up of which can go on to cause tooth decay and gum disease. As a preventive care-led practice, we recommend preventive treatments such as this to our patients wherever possible.

Who is this treatment suitable for?

The great thing about Airflow Tooth Polishing is that it’s suitable for almost anyone. It’s so gentle it can be used on patients with sensitive teeth, as well as restorations and orthodontics.

Is it painful?

No! Airflow Tooth Polishing is exceptionally gentle, and doesn’t cause any of the discomfort associated with more traditional ‘scale and polish’ cleaning treatments.

Will my teeth be whiter?

Your teeth will certainly look a little brighter and feel much fresher, but this is not a teeth whitening treatment. If you’re looking to whiten your smile, you might want to consider one of our teeth whitening treatments such as Enlighten® Evolution, Pola Whitening, Boutique Whitening or Philips Zoom White-Speed.

How can I receive this treatment?

You can receive Airflow Tooth Polishing during a hygiene appointment with one of our skilled dental hygienists.
