Airflow Therapy
Airflow Therapy is a dental cleaning technique that uses a machine to propel air, water and a specially designed powder onto the teeth. The powder used in airflow cleaning is typically made from sodium bicarbonate and other abrasive agents, which help to remove surface stains and plaque buildup.
Airflow cleaning
Airflow cleaning is safe and effective, but it may only suit some. Patients with sensitive teeth or gum disease may require more gentle cleaning techniques, and those with respiratory issues may be advised to avoid the procedure due to the potential for aerosolization of particles.
Overall, if you are interested in airflow cleaning, it is best to consult a dental professional to determine whether it is the right option.

How often should I get an airflow therapy cleaning?
Airflow technology is a sophisticated dental tool that provides effective and efficient dental cleaning. The development of Airflow involves a combination of engineering and dental expertise.
Airflow devices include a specially designed handpiece that combines air, water, and fine powder particles.
The handpiece is connected to a compressed air system and a water supply, which generates a controlled spray. The airflow unit also includes a powder chamber where the specific powders are stored in the procedure.
The powders used in Airflow cleaning are usually made from a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and glycine. These powders are selected for their gentle abrasive properties, which help to remove stains and plaque without causing damage to the teeth or gums.
The technology behind Airflow devices has undergone continuous advancements to improve their efficiency and effectiveness.
Dental equipment manufacturers work closely with dental professionals to develop and refine these tools, ensuring they meet the highest quality and safety standards.
It’s important to note that Airflow technology should be used by trained dental professionals knowledgeable about its proper usage and safety protocols.
Dentists and dental hygienists receive specialized training to effectively utilize Airflow tools and deliver optimal cleaning results to their patients.
