We’re excited to bring the latest dental hygiene technology to Preventative Dental Care On Pulteney. Find out how Swiss-Made EMS AIRFLOW® and a Guided Biofilm Therapy treatment can benefit your smile!
Our recently installed EMS AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master means that you can now experience stain-free, clean teeth without the pain! No more mess, no more nails scraping like noise on the blackboard and no more cold water. It’s time to give your teeth the best clean they’ve ever had!
What is EMS AIRFLOW®?
AIRFLOW® is a revolutionary, non-contact form of dental maintenance and prevention. It projects a controlled stream of air, warm water and very fine sweet powder onto the tooth and in hard-to-reach areas to dislodge and remove food particles, plaque, discolouration and stains.
The high pressure water/air stream cleans your teeth much faster, efficiently and comfortably than the use of traditional pastes. Traditional methods are often messy, time consuming and can leave you with a not so clean taste in your mouth.
AIRFLOW® is akin to being at a day spa but instead of beauticians working on your face, your dentist is gently exfoliating your teeth. Since the water in the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master heats to 40 degrees, it’s a positively warm experience!
How does EMS AIRFLOW® and a Guided Biofilm Therapy treatment work?
It is estimated that 1mm of dental plaque contains more than 200 million bacteria. If left untreated, the bacteria can spread and develop biofilm. Biofilm is a colony of bacteria that can cause gum disease and compromise your body’s immune defences.
When using the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master device, firstly your dentist will place a coloured dye onto your teeth to reveal any plaque and biofilm present in your mouth. This is a great motivational tool to show you the areas in your mouth that you need to spend a little more time cleaning at home.
Your dentist will then efficiently remove the plaque build-up with AIRFLOW®. This is a big step in preventing and treating gingivitis (gum disease) and periodontitis.
As well as removing stains, AIRFLOW® can be used for many different treatment types including: cleaning orthodontic brackets and implants to minimise per-implantitis and to reduce the loss of implants.
If you have hard calculus, your dentist may also need to use an ultrasonic on your teeth. However, the use of AIRFLOW® prior minimises the amount of time in which an ultrasonic is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is preventive dental technology?
Preventive dental technology refers to modern tools and systems used to detect, monitor, and remove oral health issues early. These include AI-powered diagnostics, digital scanners, and advanced cleaning systems like EMS AIRFLOW®, which help identify plaque and biofilm before they cause cavities or gum disease.
2. How does EMS AIRFLOW® improve dental cleaning?
EMS AIRFLOW® improves dental cleaning by using a controlled stream of air, warm water, and fine powder to remove plaque, biofilm, and stains. This method is more precise, less invasive, and more comfortable than traditional polishing techniques.
3. What is Guided Biofilm Therapy in dentistry?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a preventive dental approach that focuses on identifying and removing harmful biofilm using visual guidance and advanced cleaning technology. It helps dentists target problem areas more accurately and maintain long-term oral health.
4. Can modern dental technology detect problems early?
Yes. Modern dental technology can detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral health issues before symptoms appear. Tools like digital imaging and AI-assisted diagnostics improve accuracy and allow for early intervention.
5. Is advanced dental cleaning better than traditional methods?
Advanced dental cleaning methods are generally more effective and comfortable than traditional approaches. Technologies like EMS AIRFLOW® provide faster cleaning, better access to hard-to-reach areas, and improved removal of plaque and biofilm with less discomfort.
