    Is it suitable for me?

    Why should you not postpone professional teeth cleaning?

    To prevent the development of cavities, gum diseases, and to eliminate unpleasant bad breath.

    How does it work?

    The Air flow technique operates on the principle of sandblasting. A fine powder, called Plus, is used to painlessly remove dental plaque without harming the enamel and gum tissues. It is delivered along with compressed air and water.

    If it is necessary to treat the subgingival area (in the presence of periodontal pockets), a special PerioFlow tip is used.

    Advantages of this technique

    • Fast

      The procedure takes 30–40 minutes.

    • Painless

      In 99% of cases, there is no discomfort or pain.

    • Safe

      Dental enamel and gums remain undamaged. It does not cause allergic reactions.

    • Beneficial

      Disinfects the oral cavity, eliminates bad breath, and helps prevent dental diseases.

    • Important

      Helps remove plaque in hard-to-reach areas and keeps the enamel smooth, preventing bacteria from clinging to it.

    Are there any drawbacks to Air flow? Yes, one limitation is that it cannot effectively remove hard tartar.

    Contraindications

    • The procedure cannot be performed in the following cases:
      • When gums are bleeding or inflamed.
      • In the presence of hard tartar.
      • For individuals with bronchial asthma (requires additional specialist consultation).
      • During pregnancy and breastfeeding.
    Air flow or Ultrasonic Cleaning?

    Air flow and ultrasonic cleaning are procedures that serve different purposes, but both are part of professional oral hygiene.

    How do they differ? Air flow removes only soft dental deposits, while ultrasonic cleaning effectively deals with hard tartar.

    How do they work together? If dental tartar is detected during the examination, ultrasonic cleaning is performed first, followed by the use of Air Flow..

    Stages of Procedure

    Examination

    The dentist assesses the condition of the teeth and gums and rules out any contraindications.

    Preparation

    The patient puts on protective eyewear and a special gown (to shield from airborne particles). If necessary, a local anesthetic spray is applied to the gums. In some cases, the dentist may also apply an indicator substance to the tooth enamel (to identify areas of plaque buildup).

    Cleaning

    For 30–40 minutes, the hygienist removes soft deposits, thoroughly cleaning each tooth and the spaces between them.

    Final Steps

    Optionally, enamel mineralization may be performed as prescribed by the dentist. The specialist provides guidance on oral care.

    Questions and Answers

    Is it painful?

    The procedure is minimally invasive, especially when compared to mechanical or ultrasonic cleaning. If the patient experiences slight discomfort, it can be alleviated with a local anesthetic.

    How often should the procedure be repeated?

    Since it is part of the comprehensive oral hygiene routine, on average, it is repeated every 3-4 months. However, if the patient has no dental issues and follows all the dentist's recommendations, a follow-up visit is possible after a year.

    Post-Procedure Recommendations
    • Refrain from eating for 2 hours after the cleaning. Then, consume soft foods to avoid gum irritation.
    • Avoid smoking, coffee, or other staining beverages/foods for the first 3-4 hours.
    • Postpone tooth brushing for a day, and replace your toothbrush with a new one. You may use mouthwash as directed.
    Is there any harm to the enamel or gums?

    Some worry that using baking soda may negatively affect the condition of the enamel and gums. However, this is not the case. The cleaning process involves using granules of a safe size that do not scratch the enamel or gums.
