Not many people look forward to their dental cleanings. Especially when they are reminded of the poking, prodding, and flossing that leaves their gums feeling sensitive. While dental cleanings in any form are incredibly important for maintaining your oral health, a better, more comfortable way to clean your teeth exists. Thanks to the airflow technology employed in the EMS Airflow system, painful dental cleanings are a thing of the past. Check out our blog post to explore the many benefits of airflow technology offered at New York General Dentistry.
What Is Airflow Technology?
Preventative dental care is the most important factor when it comes to maintaining your oral health and staving off tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. In addition to brushing your teeth and flossing daily, preventative dental care includes attending your regular dental check-ups and cleanings. The technology used during these appointments has come a long way since we were kids, meaning the comfort of preventative treatments has greatly improved. One of those improvements is the introduction of airflow technology to remove plaque and clean the soft tissues in a gentler way.
Guided Biofilm Therapy with EMS Airflow Technology
Guided Biofilm Therapy is an innovative approach to managing and removing biofilm, a key player in periodontal disease and caries. Guided Biofilm Therapy utilizes the EMS Airflow system to gently and effectively remove biofilm from teeth, gums, and other hard-to-reach areas without the use of scraping or scaling tools. The EMS Airflow system machine uses a mixture of air, water, and fine powder to address the biofilm.
Benefits of Airflow Technology
Benefits of the EMS Airflow System include:
Gentle and Comfortable
The main benefit of using airflow technology is that it is much gentler than traditional dental cleaning methods like aggressive scraping and scaling. This means that the patient is comfortable throughout the entire duration of their cleaning, and the integrity of their enamel and gum tissue is not disturbed.
Efficient
The EMS Airflow System is an incredibly efficient way to remove plaque from the teeth and tissues. Airflow technology has proven to be more effective than traditional by-hand teeth cleaning methods as well as cutting the cleaning time down significantly.
Safe of Dental Restorations
Not only is airflow technology the preferred method for cleaning natural teeth, but it is also the preferred way to clean dental restorations including implants, crowns, veneers, and bridges. The gentle nature of the device makes for a safer cleaning experience for patients with dental restorations.
Effective Stain Removal
If you are dealing with stained or discolored teeth from drinking coffee, tobacco use, or other catalysts, the EMS Airflow System is a highly effective way to return your teeth to their pearly white appearance. This system is also great when used before a whitening treatment, preventing the possibility of uneven bleaching due to plaque build-up.
