At Sharrow Vale Dental Care, we’re proud to offer AirFlow as part of our hygiene services, helping patients achieve a fresher, brighter smile with a treatment that’s both gentle and highly effective.

What is AirFlow treatment?

AirFlow is an advanced professional dental cleaning system used during hygiene appointments to remove plaque, surface stains, and everyday build-up from your teeth. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that can involve more scraping, AirFlow uses a combination of warm water, air, and fine powder particles to clean teeth comfortably and thoroughly. 

Whether you enjoy coffee, tea, red wine, or simply want your smile looking its best, AirFlow can help restore a cleaner, brighter appearance while supporting excellent oral health.

How does AirFlow work?

AirFlow treatment follows a carefully structured process to ensure a thorough and comfortable clean.

Step 1 – Your Oral Health Assessment

Your hygienist will begin by examining your teeth and gums, identifying any areas of plaque, staining, or build-up that need attention. This helps create a tailored approach to your cleaning appointment. 

Step 2 – Preparation

To make the treatment as comfortable and effective as possible, your mouth is prepared to allow easy access to all surfaces of the teeth. 

Step 3 – The AirFlow Clean

Using the EMS AirFlow handpiece, your hygienist gently cleans around each tooth and along the gumline. The fine powder, air, and water combination removes plaque and staining, even in hard-to-reach areas between teeth. 

Step 4 – Rinse and Finish

Once the cleaning is complete, your mouth is rinsed thoroughly. Any final polishing or finishing touches are carried out, leaving your teeth feeling exceptionally smooth and clean. 

Step 5 – Final Check and Advice

Your hygienist will review the results, answer any questions, and provide personalised advice to help you maintain your smile between visits.
