Stain Removal
Understanding Teeth Stains
Teeth stains can result from various factors, including certain foods, drinks, medications, and smoking. These stains can be unsightly and impact self-confidence. Air polishing can help with removal of these stains.
What Is Air Polishing?
Air polishing is a non-invasive dental hygiene treatment that uses a combination of compressed air, water, and fine powder particles. This powerful yet controlled jet flow effectively removes stains and plaque from teeth. Here’s what you need to know:
-
Procedure: During air polishing, your dental hygienist directs the air-polishing device to clean teeth surfaces. The fine powder particles gently remove stains without causing discomfort.
-
Areas Treated: Air polishing can reach difficult-to-access areas, including spaces between teeth, orthodontic wires/brackets, implants, crowns, bridges, and conventional fillings.
-
Suitability: Most patients, including those with sensitive teeth, implants, veneers, and crowns, can benefit from air polishing.
Benefits of Air Polishing
Removal of Stubborn Stains
Certain foods, beverages, and lifestyle choices lead to stubborn teeth stains. Air polishing effectively tackles these stains.
Protection Against Gum Disease
Gum disease affects many adults. Air polishing helps safeguard your gums by removing harmful bacteria from below the gum line. Early intervention prevents pain, bad breath, and tooth loss.​
Fresh Breath
Bacteria hiding below the gum line contribute to bad breath. Regular air polishing keeps your breath fresh by eliminating harmful bacteria.
