A Fresher Approach to Oral Care

Your smile is one of your best features — and keeping it healthy is about more than just appearance. Good oral hygiene boosts your overall wellbeing, from fresh breath to better heart health. But everyday habits like coffee, tea, red wine, and even healthy foods can cause stains and plaque to build up. Over time, this can lead to gum problems, tooth loss, and bad breath.

That’s where Airflow teeth cleaning comes in — a quick, gentle, and effective way to brighten your smile and keep your mouth healthy.

 
Healthy teeth and gums help you:           
  * Prevent tooth decay and gum disease     
  * Eat and speak comfortably                       
  * Maintain fresh breath and confidence   
  * Avoid costly dental treatments in the future 
                             
 
What Makes Airflow Different?
 Airflow uses a soft but powerful spray of warm water, air, and fine cleaning powder to gently remove stains and plaque - even in hard-to-reach spots.

  * Both adults and children


Benefits You’ll Notice Straight Away
    * Brighter, fresher smile after just one session

Airflow Teeth Cleaning: Your Questions Answered

We know patients have lots of questions before trying something new. Here are answers to the ones we hear most often:

1. What exactly is Airflow? Airflow is a modern dental cleaning treatment that gently removes plaque, stains, and soft deposits using warm water, air, and a fine powder — usually sodium bicarbonate or glycine.

2. How is it different from a normal scale and polish? It’s gentler, more comfortable, and often more effective at stain removal — especially from tea, coffee, and tobacco.

3. Is it safe for sensitive teeth? Absolutely. In fact, it’s one of the best cleaning options for people with sensitive teeth or gum issues.

4. Does it hurt? Not at all — most patients say it feels refreshing and comfortable.

5. Can it remove all stains? It’s great for surface stains, but deeper, internal stains may need other whitening treatments.

6. How long does it take? Around 20–30 minutes, depending on your needs.

7. Will my teeth look whiter afterwards? Yes — most people notice a brighter, fresher smile straight away.

8. How often should I have it done? Usually every six months, but your dentist can advise based on your oral health.

9. Is it safe if I have dental work? Yes — it’s gentle enough for implants, crowns, bridges, and veneers.

10. What should I do after my appointment? You can eat and drink normally straight away — but avoiding coffee, tea, or red wine for a few hours can help keep your teeth brighter for longer.

Airflow vs. Traditional Teeth Cleaning: Which is Best for You?

Understanding the Difference

Traditional cleaning uses manual or electric scalers to scrape away plaque and tartar. While effective, this can sometimes feel uncomfortable — especially for those with sensitive teeth.

Airflow cleaning uses a warm jet of water, air, and fine powder to achieve the same results — but without scraping.

Why More Patients Are Choosing Airflow

  • Comfort – No scraping, vibration, or harsh pressure.

  • Gentleness – Less risk of enamel wear or gum irritation.

  • Speed – Often quicker than traditional methods.

  • Better stain removal – Especially from tea, coffee, tobacco, and red wine.
