Air Polishing

A jet wash for your teeth

This treatment is messy, but effective! Air polishing is very useful for removing harmful plaque or unsightly staining from your teeth.
Teeth can often be susceptible to staining from large amounts of:

• Smoking
• Tea
• Coffee
• Red wine

For stains like these, air polishing is more effective than the usual scale and polish, and a faster alternative to traditional scalers and abrasive pastes. The treatment is gentle and painless, so don’t worry if you have sensitive teeth and gums. It is also suitable for treating children’s teeth.

If you have just had your teeth whitened and are struggling to keep them white, this treatment will help to keep them shiny and stain-free.

Air polishing vs scale and polish

Compared with the usual scale and polish treatment, air polishing:

• Is more effective on stains and plaque
• Is more comfortable and doesn’t generate heat during treatment
• Will treat your teeth more gently, without causing surface wear on tooth enamel
