What is Airflow® dental cleaning?
Airflow® is an advanced dental cleaning treatment that uses a combination of warm water, air and fine powder particles to gently remove plaque, biofilm and surface stains from the teeth and gums.
How does Airflow® work?
Joining Rugby Smiles is simple. Contact our team by phone, email or through our online enquiry form, and we'll help you book your first appointment at a convenient time. We welcome patients from Rugby and the surrounding areas.
Is Airflow® better than a traditional scale and polish?
Airflow® can be more comfortable than a traditional scale and polish, especially for patients with sensitive teeth. It is highly effective at removing stains and biofilm, while traditional scaling may still be needed for hardened tartar deposits.
Does Airflow® hurt?
Most patients find Airflow® painless and much more comfortable than traditional cleaning methods. The treatment uses warm water and does not involve extensive scraping.
Will Airflow® make my teeth whiter?
Airflow® removes external stains and can make your teeth appear brighter and cleaner. However, it does not change the natural shade of your teeth like professional teeth whitening treatment.
How long does an Airflow® treatment take?
Treatment typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the amount of staining and your individual oral health needs.
Is Airflow® suitable for sensitive teeth?
Yes. Airflow® is often recommended for patients with sensitive teeth because it is gentle and uses warm water for added comfort.
What is biofilm and why should it be removed?
Biofilm is a layer of bacteria that builds up on the teeth and gums. If left untreated, it can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath.
Can Airflow® help with gum disease?
Airflow® can help remove harmful bacteria and biofilm that contribute to gum disease. Your dentist or hygienist will advise whether additional periodontal treatment is required.
