Airflow Therapy – Carlsbad, CA

What is Airflow Therapy?

Instead of physically polishing your teeth by scrubbing or scraping them, Airflow Therapy uses a combination of air, water, and specially formulated powders to remove stubborn plaque and bacteria from all corners of the mouth. A pressurized stream effortlessly clears away cavity-causing substances on and between the teeth and can easily reach areas of the mouth that even gave hygienists difficulties in the past.

Biofilm & Gum Disease

The main mission of Airflow Therapy is to remove biofilm from the teeth and below the gum line, which is the clear, sticky substance that accumulates on your teeth throughout the day. It’s a combination of bacteria and the byproducts they produce when they consume the sugar left in your mouth after you eat, and it’s the precursor to the most common oral health issues: cavities and gum disease. Because Airflow Therapy is especially adept at removing all biofilm, it’s able to drastically lower a patient’s risk for dental problems, notably more so compared to traditional cleanings.

Benefits of Airflow Therapy

 

• Fast: It used to take 30-60 seconds for a hygienist to clean each tooth, but with Airflow Therapy, this is cut down to just 5 seconds per tooth. On average, this helps patients save about 10 minutes during their routine appointments.
• Comfortable: No one likes having their teeth scraped! With Airflow Therapy, you will only feel a soft, warm stream of water lightly hitting your teeth and gums.
• Gum Disease Protection: In addition to cleansing the teeth themselves, Airflow Therapy allows a hygienist to clean further below the gum line than before, greatly reducing a patient’s risk of developing gum disease.
