What happens at an appointment
Your clinician reviews your gum health, removes relevant deposits and discusses practical improvements to brushing and interdental cleaning.
What airflow can do
Air-polishing may help remove surface staining and biofilm for suitable patients. Your clinician will explain whether it is appropriate; it does not replace treatment for underlying gum disease.
Practical steps to remember
- Tell your hygienist about sensitivity
- Ask which home-care tools suit you
- Attend at the interval recommended
This guide offers general information and cannot replace advice from a dental professional who has assessed your individual circumstances.
