What is air polishing?
Air polishing uses a controlled stream of air, water and specially formulated powder to remove biofilm and surface staining from the teeth. The fine jet can also reach areas that are more difficult to clean effectively with a toothbrush or other oral hygiene aids. Air polishing can be used to remove superficial staining and deposits and to clean carefully around teeth, gums and, using the appropriate materials and techniques, dental implants. After treatment, the teeth generally feel noticeably smooth and clean.

Ultrasonic scaling
In addition to air polishing, the system is equipped with advanced ultrasonic technology. A specially designed instrument produces rapid, controlled vibrations to remove calculus and other hard deposits from the tooth surfaces. Depending on your individual needs, your dental professional can select different settings and instruments. This allows the treatment to be adapted for routine professional cleaning.

Comfort during treatment
The system can be adjusted precisely to suit the treatment and the sensitivity of your teeth and gums. Both the power and water flow can be individually controlled, and the system offers different water temperature settings to help make treatment as comfortable as possible. The settings used will depend on the condition of your teeth and gums and on the purpose of the treatment.

When is it used?

The system may be used for:

• Removing plaque and biofilm;
• Removing superficial staining and discolouration;
• Professional dental cleaning;
• Cleaning difficult-to-reach areas;
• Professional maintenance around dental implants using suitable instruments.

What are the benefits?
By combining air polishing and ultrasonic scaling, the system allows different types of plaque, staining and deposits to be treated during the same appointment. The system can also be adjusted accurately to suit the specific area being treated. This makes the system a modern and versatile method of professional dental cleaning that supports both preventive oral care and the treatment and management of gum problems.

Is treatment painful?
Professional dental cleaning should generally not be painful. However, certain areas may feel temporarily sensitive, particularly if the gums are inflamed, the tooth roots are exposed or calculus is present below the gum line. Your dental professional can adjust the settings of the airpolish system according to your individual sensitivity. Please let us know at any time if you experience discomfort during treatment.

Supporting a healthy mouth
Professional dental cleaning is an important complement to good daily oral hygiene. Your dental professional will assess which type of cleaning is most appropriate for you and can also advise you on how best to care for your teeth and gums at home.
