Air Polishing Teeth in Gardens Dental Centre
For brilliant smiles and healthy teeth!
Air Polishing of Teeth—an Overview
Professional teeth cleanings are necessary. Despite diligent tooth brushing, flossing and mouthwashes, stains and tartar buildup deep around the teeth might cause mild gum inflammation. The scraping, prodding, and post-cleaning teeth sensitivity don’t make teeth cleaning a comfortable experience. Agree? Air polishing teeth in Gardens Dental Centre is a state-of-the-art air polishing technique that is designed to clean your teeth without the pain and the noise of traditional cleaning tools, by using equipment that doesn’t touch your teeth at all!
What Is Air Polishing?
It is an innovative dental procedure that can thoroughly clean teeth and gums without coming into contact with them. In essence, it is a jet of air combined with a mixture of water and air-polishing powder that is used to clean and polish the teeth whilst removing deposits, tartar, plaque, and stains from their surfaces.
How Does Air Polishing Work?
This is how air polishing works:
The air polish jet: This high-energy jet gently but effectively removes tough stains and debris from teeth by combining air, water, and a specialised cleaning powder to form a powerful jet stream.
The powder: Specifically designed for cleaning, this fine, mildly abrasive powder comes in appealing scents like lemon fragrance. Sodium bicarbonate, osspray calcium, sodium phosphosilicate, and erythritol are common powders used for air polishing.
Who Can Get Air Polishing of Teeth?
Airflow jet teeth polishing will be beneficial if you suffer from any of the following conditions:
- Smokers and those who drink excessive tea/coffee daily: In such instances, dental stains recur often, necessitating frequent teeth cleanings. Cleaning your teeth with air polish might be a healthier and better choice.
- Sensitive Teeth: Ideal for those who experience pain and discomfort and are worried about standard cleaning techniques.
- Orthodontic treatments with fixed braces: Air polishing is the best method for cleaning teeth that have wires and braces attached.
We regularly provide consultations and air polishing to patients from Dulwich, Peckham, Dulwich Village, Brixton, Newlands, and Hono Oak.
Treatment Benefits
Air polishing has several benefits:
Efficient stain removal
Common surface stains brought on by tea, coffee, alcohol, and tobacco can be effectively removed using air polishing.
Pain free and fast
It is quick (30 minutes) and painless; there are no nasty chemicals, loud noises, pricking, prodding, or bleeding.
Chemical-free technique
Air polishing uses a non-invasive, chemical-free process. Only a pressurised air spray is used for cleaning.
What Our Patients Say
My name is not Merlin. That is my son’s name. The treatment at the dental clinic was excellent. The dentist was very friendly and thorough. She did all the tests necessary to diagnose the problem. In the end it had to be referred to a specialist. But she prepared all the groundwork. I felt safe in her hands.
