AIR-FLOW uses a unique air polished process to remove harmful biofilm from above and below the gum line.
It utilizes glycine particles rather than traditional air polishing powders to provide a treatment that is more powerful and comfortable than typical air polishing.
Air polishing therapy is often recommended as part of your regular cleaning. It allows for more effective cavity detection and fluoride application, as well as other procedures like teeth whitening, bonding, and veneer placement.
It can also help with:
In addition to these benefits, AIR-FLOW can be a great choice for patients who simply want a faster or more comfortable cleaning experience.

Periodontitis, also known as gum disease, is a gum infection that damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth.
Periodontitis can cause teeth to loosen and left untreated can lead to tooth loss.
Periodontitis is common and oftentimes preventable.
In most cases, the development of periodontitis starts with biofilm and plaque. This is a sticky film composed mainly of bacteria.
If left untreated, a buildup of plaque can eventually harden under the gumline and develop into a hard matrix called tartar or calculus.
This matrix of bacteria and biofilm creates an immune response in the body which is inflammatory and detrimental to the gum tissue and bone surrounding the teeth.
Ongoing inflammation eventually causes pockets to develop between your teeth and gums that proceeds to fill with plaque, tartar and bacteria.
In time, these pockets become deeper, filling with more bacteria. If left untreated, these infections cause a loss of tissue and bone, and ultimately you may lose one or more teeth.
Also, ongoing chronic inflammation can put a strain on your immune system. Periodontal disease is considered a chronic inflammatory condition.
Periodontitis can cause tooth loss. The bacteria responsible for periodontitis can enter your bloodstream through gum tissue, possibly affecting other parts of your body.
For example, periodontitis is linked with respiratory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, coronary artery disease and problems controlling blood sugar.
Periodontal therapy initially involves a deep cleaning called Scaling and Root Planing and or antibiotic therapy. Referral to a periodontist may be necessary if you require surgical management.
