AIRFLOW Dental Spa
At Rokeby Dental Surgery we want to our patients to be as comfortable as possible, especially during their teeth cleaning appointments.
That’s why we’ve introduced new state-of -the art technology called AIRFLOW® Dental Spa, which uses innovative, non-contact plaque removing techniques, which makes your dental check-up feel like a day at the spa!
With AIRFLOW® Dental Spa we promise you a comfortable, efficient and effective treatment and is perfect if you have sensitive teeth, braces or implants, if you find traditional teeth cleaning methods uncomfortable or have dental anxiety. This minimally invasive approach delivers a high standard of cleaning in less time and involves less direct contact with dental instruments.
What is AIRFLOW® Dental Spa?
AIRFLOW® Dental Spa is a revolutionary, non-contact form of dental maintenance and prevention. It projects a controlled stream of air, warm water and very fine powder onto the tooth and in hard-to-reach areas to dislodge and remove food particles, plaque, discolouration and stains. Powders utilised include a non-sugar sweet erythritol formulation used most commonly, and a sodium bicarbonate formulation.
The high-pressure water/air stream cleans your teeth much faster, efficiently and comfortably than the use of traditional pastes. Traditional methods are often messy, time consuming and can leave you with a not so clean taste in your mouth.
AIRFLOW® Dental Spa is akin to being at a day spa but instead of beauticians working on your face, your Dentist or Hygienist is gently exfoliating your teeth. Since the water in the AIRFLOW® Dental Spa heats to 40 degrees, it’s a positively warm experience!
How does AIRFLOW® Dental Spa work?
Dental biofilm, commonly known as plaque, is the yellowish layer of bacteria that can build up on teeth over time and cause problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. Keeping plaque under control is an important part of preventive dental care.
When using the AIRFLOW® Dental Spa device, your Hygienist or Dentist will place a coloured dye onto your teeth to reveal any plaque and biofilm present in your mouth. This is a great motivational tool to show you the areas in your mouth that you need to spend a little more time cleaning at home.
Your Hygienist or Dentist will then efficiently remove the plaque build-up with AIRFLOW® Dental Spa. This is a big step in preventing and treating gingivitis and periodontitis.
As well as removing stains, AIRFLOW® Dental Spa can be used for many different treatment types including cleaning orthodontic braces and dentures plus implants to minimise per-implantitis and to reduce the loss of implants.
If you have hard calculus, your Hygienist or Dentist may also need to use an ultrasonic on your teeth. However, the use of AIRFLOW® Dental Spa prior minimises the amount of time in which an ultrasonic is needed.
