Gentle Dental Tartar and Plaque Removal

We use only the latest and most up to date technology at Sky Dental. A good example of this is the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master which we use to gently remove dental plaque and tartar (also known as calculus). 

Dental plaque is formed from the combination of food, bacteria and saliva. If you do not remove plaque regularly, it can harden into tartar, which can only be removed professionally. Not only is tartar unsightly, it can also lead to gum disease and tooth decay. 

The AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master uses a stream of pressurised air, water and fine powder to remove plaque and tartar with no need for scraping or ultrasonic instruments. It allows us to effectively remove dental calculus without endangering tooth enamel, and especially in the case when periodontal disease or sensitivity is present. It is gentle on teeth and gums and leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh. 

Note 

Any conversation about dental plaque needs to make mention that prevention is always better than a cure – to prevent instances of tartar buildup in the first place, always make sure you brush properly with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day, and use dental floss after meals. Brushing and flossing are your friends! 

Stain removal for sensitive teeth

The Airflow is a lot more effective in removing dental plaque and tartar than traditional cleaning methods, but it is also excellent for stain removal. It uses a fine powder that is safe for natural teeth, crowns/bridges, implants, braces and other orthodontic appliances. The powder is a polishing agent that removes surface stains quickly and efficiently. It does not use any chemicals or abrasives that could potentially damage tooth enamel. 

The Airflow is ideal for people who have sensitive teeth, as it is a very gentle method of cleaning. It’s a fantastic all-round cleaning tool!
