Air Polishing

 1

Air polishing is a dental cleaning technique that uses a special device to spray a mixture of air, water, and a fine powder to remove plaque, stains, and debris from the teeth.
Key Features:
  1. Gentle Cleaning: The high-pressure spray gently cleans teeth without the need for harsh scrubbing.
  2. Powder Types: The powder used can vary, often made from baking soda or other materials, and is safe for teeth.
  3. Comfortable: Many patients find air polishing more comfortable than traditional scraping methods.
Purpose:
  • Stain Removal: Effectively removes surface stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco.
  • Preparation: Prepares teeth for further dental treatments, like sealants or bonding.
Benefits:
  • Efficiency: Cleans teeth quickly and thoroughly.
  • Less Sensitivity: Generally causes less discomfort for patients, especially those with sensitive teeth.
  • Easy Rinsing: The process often requires less rinsing than traditional methods.
Air polishing is a modern, effective, and gentle way to keep teeth clean and improve oral hygiene.
