Air Polishing Teeth in Croydon
For glittery smiles and clean mouths!
Air Polishing of Teeth—an Overview
You are prompt with brushing twice daily, flossing, mouthwashes and more. Yet your dentist advises you to get professional teeth cleanings periodically. You know it’s important, but dislike the clunky tool scratching your teeth, poking the gums, and the related sensitivity. Air polishing teeth in Croydon is a revolutionary gift of modern dentistry, designed to make your smile brighter, fresher, and healthier without the discomfort of traditional teeth cleaning methods. Painless teeth cleaning is real now—and equally effective as before. It keeps your dental health in the best shape and dental hygiene top-notch.
What Is Air Polishing?
Air polishing of teeth is an advanced dental procedure that cleans teeth effectively without touching the tooth enamel or gums. It uses a jet of air and a slurry of water and air polishing powder to dislodge plaque, tartar, deposits and stains from the tooth and gum surface, leaving your teeth thoroughly cleaned and polished.
How Does Air Polishing Work?
This is how air polishing for teeth cleaning works:
The air polish jet: A high-energy jet combines air, water, and a specialised cleaning powder to produce a powerful jet stream of air that gently yet effectively dislodges the stubborn stains and debris from your teeth.
The powder: A fine, mildly abrasive powder—available in pleasant flavours like lemon—is specially formulated for cleaning. Common air polishing powders contain sodium bicarbonate, osspray calcium, sodium phosphosilicate, and erythritol.
Who Can Get Air Polishing of Teeth?
You can benefit from airflow jet teeth polishing if you have the following issues:
- Smokers and those who drink excessive tea/coffee daily: Tooth stains in such cases come back frequently, making repeated tooth cleanings a must. Air polish teeth cleaning can be a better and healthier choice.
- Sensitive Teeth: Ideal for patients who experience discomfort and pain and are anxious about traditional cleaning methods.
- Orthodontic treatments with fixed braces: Air polishing of teeth is perfect for teeth cleaning with braces and wires.
