A traditional scale and polish uses small tools and instruments to scrape plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth. While this is very effective, some patients can find the treatment uncomfortable, particularly if they are sensitive to particular sensations and noises.
With Airflow Stain Removal, we use a fine mist made up of water, air and powder particles to gently remove surface staining from your teeth without the need for direct contact. This results in a thorough cleaning that is gentle on your teeth and gums. You’ll also enjoy fresher breath and your teeth may look brighter and whiter after treatment.
Who should consider Airflow Stain Removal?
If you’re thinking about visiting the dental hygienist, you might be interested in this treatment type. It’s also very effective for lifting surface staining before you start other cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening. Some patients even find that this stain removal treatment is sufficient for achieving their aesthetic goals, and teeth whitening isn’t required.
You should also consider this treatment if you have sensitive teeth and are worried about the sensations you might feel during a traditional scale and polish. While the treatment should never be painful, some people don’t like the direct contact and find Airflow Stain Removal more comfortable.
