Airflow® – Gentle, Painless Plaque Removal

Experience a new level of clean with Airflow technology. Using air, water, and fine powder, it removes stains and biofilm without scraping. Ideal for sensitive teeth.

How Airflow Works

The Airflow system projects a controlled stream of warm water mixed with erythritol powder. It blasts away plaque, staining (coffee, tea, tobacco), and early calculus gently and efficiently. The powder is sweet-tasting and completely safe for enamel, gums, and restorations. Many patients describe the sensation as a gentle massage rather than a cleaning.

Benefits Over Traditional Scaling

No painful scraping, no heat or vibration. Airflow can reach deep into pockets and between teeth. It’s faster, more comfortable, and leaves teeth noticeably smoother. Traditional scaling can take 30-40 minutes; Airflow often cuts that time in half. It’s also ideal for patients with dental implants, orthodontic braces, or severe gum recession.

Who Should Get Airflow?

Perfect for patients with sensitive gums, orthodontic braces, dental implants, or those who dread traditional cleaning. Also great as a pre-whitening prep. Smokers and heavy coffee drinkers benefit most because Airflow removes superficial stains that brushing can’t touch. We often recommend Airflow at every 6-month recall appointment.
