Air polishing is a modern dental cleaning technique that uses a controlled jet of compressed air, water, and fine powder particles to remove plaque, bacteria, and surface stains from teeth.  It is often more comfortable than traditional polishing methods.  

Benefits of air polishing

• Enhanced comfort: The procedure is gentle, creates no heat or vibration, and minimises the discomfort and sensitivity sometimes associated with traditional scaling and polishing.
• Effective stain removal: It is highly effective at removing stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. It leaves the teeth feeling exceptionally smooth and clean.
• Accesses difficult areas: The precision jet can reach and clean deep pockets, interdental spaces, and other hard-to-reach areas better than a traditional rubber cup.
• Versatile use: The technique can be safely used around braces, crowns, veneers, bridges, and dental implants.
• Removes plaque: Air polishing is highly effective at removing the sticky bacterial biofilm that adheres to teeth, helping to prevent decay and gum disease.  If tartar deposits are present, the ultra sonic scaler or hand scaler will be required to remove these deposits.
• Minimally invasive: It does not cause the wear and tear on tooth enamel that can result from more abrasive traditional polishing pastes.
