What Is Biofilm?

Biofilm is an often invisible layer of bacteria that naturally builds up on your teeth and around your gums. If not effectively removed, it can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.

Airflow® GBT helps identify and remove biofilm, including from areas that can be difficult to reach with everyday brushing.

How Does Airflow® GBT Work?

Your treatment follows a proven 8-step Guided Biofilm Therapy process, tailored to your individual needs.

Using warm water, gentle air, and ultra-fine powder, Airflow® comfortably lifts away biofilm, plaque, and stains. Any areas requiring additional attention are then carefully treated, leaving your teeth feeling smooth, fresh, and beautifully clean.
