Andrea Clarke at Milford Dentists has been concentrating on the importance of teeth cleaning in a series of articles released on this site and Karen Hobbs is their Dental Hygienist who is trained to gently remove dental plaque and hardened scale or tartar from around the teeth. Karen also uses Perio-Air Flow technology to remove staining and bacterial biofilm from tooth surfaces. Now, patients at Milford Dentists can get their teeth cleaner than they ever thought possible.

As well as offering all forms of dental hygiene treatments such as a scale and polish with Hygienist Karen or more complex root planning and periodontal surgery with Tristan Barker BDS, Milford Dentists now has Perio-Air Flow technology. Here we explain what Perio-Air Flow Technology is and also what are the five reasons why people should have their teeth cleaned with Perio-Air Flow.

EMS Perio-Air Flow is a procedure which uses a gentle spray of air, water and either sodium bicarbonate or glycine powder through a tiny nozzle to remove surface stains, plaque and other soft deposits such as food particles trapped in between the teeth.

There are five reasons why you should have your teeth cleaned with Perio-Air Flow Technology and they are as follows:

Perio-Air Flow -

1) Removes dental plaque which helps to preventing Gingivitis and Periodontal disease - Read the blog on ‘What is Gum Disease’ at http://www.milforddentists.co.nz/blog/what-is-gum-disease.html .

2) Helps to maintain heathy gum tissue around Dental Implants

3) Cleans the grooves in your teeth ( fissures) ready for fissure sealing

4) Cleans well around braces

5) Removes dental plaque from under the gum.

The literature overwhelmingly supports the use of an air polishing device as an efficient and effective means of removing stain and plaque from tooth surfaces, in conjunction with routine dental scaling with Milford Dentists’ Dental Hygienist. In short, air polishing is believed to be the least damaging and most efficient means of removing stain on enamel.

Milford Dentists is proud to help the good people of the North Shore with all their dental requirements , from Devonport and Belmont up through Takapuna, Castor Bay, Mairangi Bay and Browns Bay as well as Albany, Northcote, Hillcrest and the Whangaparoa Peninsula.
