Air Polishing Teeth in McKennell Dental Practice
Painless teeth cleanings!
Air Polishing of Teeth—an Overview
Professional teeth cleanings are essential. Even with strict toothbrushing, flossing, and mouth washing schedules, stains and tartar build up around the teeth, causing gum inflammation. But the scraping, poking, and post-cleaning tooth sensitivity make teeth cleaning uncomfortable. Agree? Air polishing teeth in McKennell Dental Practice is a state-of-the-art air polishing technique that is designed to clean your teeth without the pain and noise of standard cleaning tools, utilising equipment that does not touch your teeth at all!
What Is Air Polishing?
It is a novel teeth-cleaning technique that may effectively clean teeth and gums without coming into contact with them. In essence, it is a jet of air mixed with water and air-polishing powder that cleans and polishes the teeth while eliminating deposits, tartar, plaque, and stains.
How Does Air Polishing Work?
This is how air polishing works:
The air polish jet: This high-energy jet gently but effectively removes difficult stains and debris from teeth by blending air, water, and a specialist cleaning powder into a forceful jet stream.
The powder: This fine, mildly abrasive powder is specifically developed for cleaning and is available in pleasant aromas such as lemon smell. Common air-polishing powders include sodium bicarbonate, osspray calcium, sodium phosphosilicate, and erythritol.
Who Can Get Air Polishing of Teeth?
Airflow jet teeth polishing can be used in any of the following conditions:
- Smokers and those who drink excessive tea/coffee daily: In such cases, dental stains reoccur, demanding repeated tooth cleanings. Cleaning your teeth with air polish could be a healthier and better option.
- Sensitive Teeth: Ideal for people who suffer from sensitive teeth and discomfort and are concerned about regular cleaning methods.
- Orthodontic treatments with fixed braces: Air polishing is the finest way to clean teeth with wires and braces attached.
We regularly provide consultations and air polishing treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.

What Our Patients Say
I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.
Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.
