Teeth Cleaning with EMS Airflow Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
Maguire Dental Care are excited to announce the arrival of a revolutionary new product that makes your regular professional dental cleaning more effective and comfortable. This new product is called the EMS Airflow and is changing the way you have your teeth cleaned.
Often you may experience some sensitivity while your teeth are being professionally cleaned. The majority of the time this sensitivity is caused by the ultrasonic scaler (the shaking feeling) using cold water on your teeth. This cold water and vibrating sensation is required to remove the hard tartar buildup on your teeth. With this new Airflow technology, the water that is used can be warmed up to 40 degrees celsius reducing the sensitivity you may experience.
In conjunction with the warm water reducing the sensitivity, the Airflow uses a separate tool which will remove the biofilm (soft plaque) reducing the time needed to scale the teeth with the ultrasonic scaler. This tool uses a combination of a fine powder, air and water to remove the bacteria on the teeth. This replaces the need to polish the teeth with a rubber cup and gritty paste and is also much more effective and comfortable.
Airflow uses a combination of water, compressed air and fine sodium bicarbonate powder in a jet of water. It removes stains and bacteria from teeth including all the hard-to-reach places.
Airflow by EMS is a comfortable and painless treatment that many patients find more comfortable than the usual scraping method of a traditional scale and polish. The jet flow technique is less abrasive and less likely to cause damage to teeth or enamel. The lack of physical contact on the teeth makes Airflow an ideal treatment if you suffer with sensitive teeth.
