The cleaning regimen you follow at home is the mainstay of proper dental hygiene. This includes the correct techniques for brushing, flossing and using mouthwash.
Seeing a dental hygienist regularly is another critical aspect of your routine. A bi-annual visit will help you maintain excellent oral hygiene with a deep clean to remove calculus deposits and scrape away hardened plaque. The hygienist will also conduct a professional examination of the general health of your mouth, teeth and gums, alerting you to any warning signs of potential problems.
While you are responsible for day-to-day dental maintenance, your hygienist can help you take your dental hygiene to the next level.
How to brush
Airflow® tooth polishing combines air, sodium bicarbonate and a powerful jet of water to give you a brighter, cleaner smile.
The technique cleans your teeth thoroughly in minutes without the risk of damaging them since it doesn’t use any harsh, abrasive cleaning products, nor does it scrape the tooth enamel.
Patients opt for this treatment to remove stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, red wine and more. This technique is not the same as tooth whitening.
During Airflow® polishing, deposits, plaque, and discolouration are removed to reveal the tooth’s natural surface. Whitening relies on professional bleaching techniques to improve the current colour of your tooth surface.
