Guided Biofilm Therapy: Deep Clean & Polish with AIRFLOW®
We have launched a new dental hygiene treatment: Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). This uses gentle, state-of-the-art technology AIRFLOW ® to clean and polish the teeth. More technically speaking, the procedure removes biofilm, stains and young calculus on natural teeth, restorations and implants.
What are GBT and AIRFLOW®?
GBT is an 8-stage process for gentle but deep teeth cleaning using the EMS AIRFLOW ® machine. It is a predictable procedure for removing biofilm (bacterial flora that forms plaque), stains, and young calculus from teeth, implants, restorations, orthodontic appliances, and above and below the gum line.
Benefits of the procedure
There are three key benefits of GBT and AIRFLOW® compared to normal cleaning and polishing:
- AIRFLOW® is the ONLY technology that removes biofilm from all the nooks and crannies around your mouth, such as deep pits and fissures, interdental spaces, crowded teeth, and implants. It is also a fantastic way to clean the areas around fixed orthodontic braces!
- GBT is extremely gentle and minimally invasive, preserving the integrity of natural teeth, implants and fillings. The GBT and AIRFLOW® system is also the gentlest way to clean teeth and remove staining.
- GBT is a very comfortable procedure at each of its 8 stages. The AIRFLOW® machine uses warm water, so we can treat areas of recession and normally sensitive areas without needing local anaesthetic.
GBT using the AIRFLOW® system really is an ideal procedure and it’s now available in member care plans at The Gentle Touch. We will provide the treatment to our members with healthy gums on all of our plans.
AIRFLOW® is also available to all members and non-members as a one-off “dental spa” treatment. It’s a fantastic option for stain removal and teeth cleaning in advance of a special occasion, holiday or treat. See hygiene treatments for more information.
