Air Flow Lisburn

Dental Practice In The Heart Of Lisburn

Dental biofilm, commonly known as plaque, is the main aetiological factor for dental decay, gum disease (periodontitis) and peri-implant infections.

Periodontitis can increase the risk of systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease, arthritis or diabetes. Regular oral hygiene, combined with professional measures such as Guided Biofilm Therapy keeps biofilm under control – for a better oral and systemic health.

Ask any dentist and they will tell you that when it comes to maintaining oral heath of patients, it’s the hygienist, not the dentist, who is the most important person in the practice. Yet many patients still don’t make an appointment to see their hygienist when they visit their dentist.

What to expect during your GBT visit

1. Disclose

Make biofilm visible

A coloured liquid will be applied to your teeth using a cotton pellet this will:

  • Highlight to you the disclosed biofilm and your problematic areas.
  • The colour will guide biofilm removal.

2. Airflow

Remove biofilm, stains and early calculus (tartar) using a mixture of jet water, air and a specially formulated powder to polish and clean teeth this will:

  • Remove biofilm above and below the gumline.
  • Remove remaining stains on the enamel.
  • Removes biofilm from the gums, tongue and palate.

3. Periflow

Using a mixture of jet water, air and a specially formulated powder (as with the previous step of the airflow,) with an additional plastic tip to remove biofilm in deeper gum pockets.

 

4. Check

Make you smile!

  • A final check will be made for any remaining biofilm.
  • Ensure calculus is fully removed.
  • Accurately diagnose any decay.

FAQs

AirFlow® cleaning is a type of air polishing. Air polishing uses a mixture of water and powder, delivered under pressure and directed at the teeth to remove plaque, calculus and staining.

No. AirFlow® or any other type of air polishing does not hurt.

The effects of stain removal could last up to 12 months. This time is reduced if you consume food and drinks that cause staining, if you use a chlorhexidine mouthwash or if you are a smoker.

Scaling using a traditional ultrasonic and polishing with a rubber cup with paste will also remove plaque, calculus and staining. Professional tooth whitening will lighten the colour of your teeth.
