Airflow Dental Cleaning

A Revolutionary Approach to Teeth Cleaning

If you’re looking for a highly effective, gentle, and pain-free method to keep your teeth clean and healthy, our Airflow Dental Cleaning service at O’Neill Dental Care offers just that. This cutting-edge treatment is designed to enhance your oral health by providing a more comfortable and thorough clean than traditional methods.

What is Airflow Dental Cleaning?

Airflow dental cleaning uses a unique combination of water, air, and a fine powder to remove stains, plaque, and bacteria from your teeth. Unlike traditional scraping methods, this advanced cleaning process gently polishes the teeth, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive gums or a low tolerance for dental discomfort. It is perfect for those looking for a comfortable and effective way to maintain their oral hygiene.

How Does Airflow Work?

Airflow technology is powered by a stream of high-pressurised air combined with water and powder. The fine particles of powder (usually bicarbonate or glycine) are sprayed onto your teeth, reaching into hard-to-clean areas like interdental spaces and gum pockets. The airflow system effectively dislodges plaque, bacteria, and surface stains while being gentle on the gums, offering a painless experience.

Benefits of Airflow Dental Cleaning

  • Gentle and Painless: Ideal for people with sensitive gums, the Airflow system is gentle yet highly effective. There’s no scraping or uncomfortable vibrations.
  • Effective Stain Removal: Airflow is highly effective at removing stubborn surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking, leaving your teeth looking cleaner and brighter.
  • Quick and Efficient: The treatment is fast, making it perfect for those with busy schedules. A typical session lasts around 30 minutes.
  • Safe for Implants and Orthodontics: Whether you have dental implants, veneers, or braces, Airflow is a safe cleaning method that won’t damage dental work.
  • Preventative Care: Regular Airflow treatments can help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues by thoroughly cleaning areas that are difficult to reach with daily brushing and flossing.

Who Can Benefit from Airflow Dental Cleaning?

Airflow is suitable for everyone, including patients with sensitive teeth, gum disease, and those undergoing orthodontic treatment. It is an excellent preventative care treatment for maintaining a bright and healthy smile without discomfort.

What to Expect During Your Airflow Cleaning

When you visit O’Neill Dental Care for your Airflow cleaning, our dental hygienist will assess your oral health before beginning the treatment. You’ll feel a fine mist of water and air as the Airflow system works to clean your teeth. There’s no need for numbing agents, as the process is completely pain-free.

After the treatment, you’ll notice your teeth feel smoother and look visibly brighter. While Airflow can’t whiten teeth beyond their natural colour, it removes surface stains, giving your smile a fresh and polished appearance.
