Air-Flow Polisher in Washington, D.C.

What Is The Air-Flow Polisher?

The Air-Flow Polisher is a compact but comprehensive dental cleaning technology that combines the use of compressed air, fine powder particles, and water to polish your teeth quickly and without direct contact. In heavy contrast to the manual scraping techniques of yesterday, the Air-Flow Polisher uses a very strong current of water to remove bacteria and plaque without heat, noise, or discomfort. As the first and only practice in the area to use this technology, Washington Center for Dentistry remains a step above the rest as it pertains to remaining at the forefront of modern advances in the industry. 

Am I A Candidate For The Air-Flow Polisher?

Perhaps the most revolutionary aspects of the Air-Flow Polisher include speed and effectiveness. The polisher works three times faster than manual techniques and removes nearly 100% of harmful bacteria in the process. The power-wash action also helps to remove stains caused by foods and beverages while protecting your teeth against sensitivity, scraping, rubbing, or harsh tools. The strong jet of water released by the applicator removes the bacteria responsible for inflammation and infection, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth loss.

How Does The Air-Flow Polisher Work?

During an appointment at Washington Center for Dentistry, a dental hygienist will use a small handheld device to spray a controlled stream of water, air, and fine powder onto your teeth. This stream effectively removes plaque, stains, and bacteria from the tooth surface, as well as from hard-to-reach areas like between teeth and below the gum line. The entire process is quick, comfortable, and typically takes less time than traditional cleaning methods. Patients often describe the experience as refreshing and report little to no sensitivity afterward.

What Are The Benefits Of The Air-Flow Polisher?

A few of the incredible benefits of the Air-Flow Polisher include:

  • Deep cleaning up to 5mm deep into the periodontal pockets

  • Reduction of tooth sensitivity

  • Re-mineralizing of damaged teeth

  • Removal of up to 100% of plaque and bacteria
