Check up & Clean

Regular checkups and professional teeth cleaning are essential to keeping the mouth and teeth healthy and disease free.

Despite regular brushing and flossing, over time harmful bacteria still collect and deposit on the teeth and gums in the form of plaque and calculus. If left in place, this can cause:

  •  Tooth decay
  • Gum (periodontal) disease
  • Bad BreathPermanent teeth staining
  • Links to other health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

EMS AIRFLOW

Absolute Smiles has introduced a state-of-the art method of cleaning teeth known as “guided biofilm therapy”. Using the EMS Airflow unit, a stream of warm water, fine powder and air are used to gently remove stain and build up from the teeth. For patients with particularly sensitive teeth, the use of warm water can considerably decrease any discomfort felt, alongside simple but effective options such as Oraquix numbing gel.

  • A much more comfortable method of cleaning teeth
  • Warm water is used, meaning less sensitivity and discomfort
  • A more effective and efficient method of cleaning teeth
  • Guided biofilm Therapy (GBT) means that harmful bacteria that adheres to the teeth and gums can be better visualized and more thoroughly removed
  • Excellent for cleaning around dental implants and underneath dental bridges
  • No polishing paste required, as the fine powder gently polishes the enamel surface during the clean

Our highly experienced dental hygienists and oral health therapists are all trained in using the EMS airflow GBT system.

FAQ'S

At Absolute Smiles, we recommend patients attend every 6 months for an “Active Maintenance” appointment. At this visit, our skilled dental hygienists will perform a thorough scale and clean to remove all plaque and calculus buildup from the teeth and gums to ensure bacteria is removed. One of our dentists will then complete a check-up of the teeth, gums and soft tissue to ensure optimum health and identify any potential issues at an early stage. We truly embrace the philosophy that prevention is always better (and cheaper) than a cure.

For patients with very sensitive teeth and gums, fast-acting numbing gels or local anaesthetic can be used to make the procedure comfortable. Our EMS airflow system is the latest cutting-edge technology in teeth cleaning and can further reduce any discomfort felt during cleaning appointments.
