Airflow Polish In Leicester
At Oakdale Dental we believe our patients deserve the best. This is why we invest in cutting edge technology and equipment like CEREC, which allows us to provide crowns in just a single appointment.
With an ever-increasing understanding of how we interact with both good and bad bacteria and the Biofilms they create, such as dental plaque, new approaches are developed to allow us to optimise your oral health. We also understand how health and disease in the mouth can affect the rest of the body, and this relationship is true in both directions.
Traditionally cleaning has been done by scaling and polishing and for decades not much has advanced in this time, but now there is AIRFLOW.
What does Airflow do?
Our emphasis has always been on the prevention of oral disease but with the advent of Airflow we can now professionally clean your teeth and mouth to remove this bad biofilm as well as any surface stains that collect. This whole process is painless and more effective than ever before. The new process, called Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT for short) also includes showing you where the plaque is so that you are able to minimise this biofilm after personalised coaching.
Ultimately it represents the pinnacle in what we can do as professionals to help you keep your teeth for a lifetime but also promote good general health and keep your mouth looking at its best too.
Why use Airflow Polish?
Even if your oral hygiene great, due to our lifestyle choices it is easy for our teeth to get stained over time. Air-Flow polishing is a great way of brightening up your natural teeth and improving your smile.
Some of the benefits of Airflow include:
- Helps to remove staining from certain foods and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine, and even from smoking.
- Removes dental plaque and tartar-buildup, helping to prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease
- More gentle on your natural tooth surface due to the use of high pressure water and airflow powder
- Leaves you with a smooth surface across your teeth.
Currently the price for Airflow treatment is £77 for a 30 minute session. This revolutionary treatment is quickly becoming popular amongst our patients, so don’t delay and book your next appointment for Airflow polish at Oakdale Dental.
Routine Appointment – Scale And Polish, Leicester
Plaque forms on your teeth and if it is not removed it will harden to form tartar. If left, this can cause bad breath, cavities, tooth decay and even gum disease.
A scale and polish will remove plaque and prevent the build-up of bacteria and gum disease.
At the routine appointment our hygienists can offer advice on measures to help prevent the build-up of plaque.
What Is Periodontitis?
Gingivitis – the bacteria from plaque can cause inflammation of the gums which is known as gingivitis. Gums can become red, swollen, painful and prone to bleeding.
Periodontitis – If left untreated, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis. The gums pull away from the tooth forming pockets which contain bacteria and these become inflamed and infected.
