As the hustle and bustle of the holiday’s approaches, it’s all too easy to overlook your teeth and smile! With Christmas parties, family dos and the countdown to New Year’s Day draws closer, don’t forget about the things that matter! There’s still time to ensure your smile sparkles this holiday season by booking an Airflow appointment at Lister House Dental, Harlow.
What is AirFlow at Lister House Dental?
Airflow isn’t your typical ‘scale and polish’; it’s an innovative dental treatment that goes above and beyond, leaving your teeth not only cleaner but also noticeably whiter! Airflow is a safe and chemical-free treatment that is gentler on your teeth and gums compared to traditional cleaning methods.
The Airflow jet polish system uses a mixture of very fine bicarbonate powder, air and water combined into a focused stream. This powerful combination effectively blasts through plaque and lifts stains from the surface of your teeth and from beneath the gum line. After your AirFlow treatment you’ll leave our dental practice with a rejuvenated and radiant smile, ready for those Christmas family photos!
Worried About Tooth Sensitivity?
For those with sensitive teeth, AirFlow is a great option! Unlike treatments that might exacerbate sensitivity, AirFlow brightens your smile without causing discomfort. In fact, it may even help reduce any existing sensitivity by filling in the gaps in your teeth’s dentine, providing relief where it’s needed most. Not only is AirFlow a more gentle and effective cleaning process, it’s also very quick – over 3x faster than traditional methods!
Can Airflow Treat Gum Disease?
The biofilm—the sticky layer of bacteria—that forms around teeth and gums is one of the primary causes of gum disease. Luckily, the Airflow cleaning process removes the bacteria and dental plaque that creates this biofilm. And if you have further concerns about gum disease or periodontitis, we have an in-house dentist with a special interest in periodontics who is best placed to address your concerns!
Can I have AirFlow Treatment if I Have Dental Implants?
Absolutely! Unlike conventional scalers, the powder used with Airflow is so soft that using it on dental implants won’t cause scratches or scuffs. It’s a great method to maintain the health and cleanliness of implants and the gums supporting them.
