Airflow dental cleaning—also known as air polishing or airflow therapy—is a non-invasive hygiene technique that uses a controlled stream of compressed air, warm water, and fine powder particles (often erythritol or bicarbonate) to clean teeth surfaces. Unlike traditional scaling, which relies on manual scraping or ultrasonic vibrations, Airflow gently lifts away plaque, stains, and biofilm with minimal discomfort.

How It Works

Airflow machine delivers a high-pressure jet of air and water mixed with powder through a specialized nozzle. The jet targets tooth surfaces, gum lines, and interdental spaces, dislodging debris and polishing enamel. The process is quick (15–20 minutes) and reaches areas that are difficult to clean with traditional tools—especially around braces, implants, or restorations.
