Air Flow Dental Treatment at Seaham Smiles

Air Flow Treatment Seaham

Deep Clean. Gentle Touch. Airflow® Technology.

Airflow® cleaning is a state-of-the-art hygiene treatment that uses a gentle combination of air, water, and fine powder to remove plaque, stubborn stains, and harmful biofilm.
It’s faster, more comfortable, and more effective than traditional scaling — leaving your teeth feeling incredibly clean and your mouth refreshed.

Airflow is ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, and it’s safe for use around braces, dental implants, and other restorations. It’s also especially effective at lifting stains from tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco.

What Are the Benefits of AirFlow?

  • Pain-Free and Gentle: A comfortable experience, even for patients with sensitive teeth or gums.
  • Removes Deep Stains: Ideal for removing tea, coffee, wine, or tobacco stains.
  • Prevents Gum Disease: By thoroughly eliminating biofilm, Airflow helps maintain healthy gums.
  • Faster and More Effective: A quicker process than traditional scaling and polishing, with superior results.
  • Ideal for Braces and Implants: Safely cleans around orthodontic appliances and dental implants.

What Can I Expect During My AirFlow Appointment?

Your Airflow® appointment is quick, comfortable, and refreshingly effective. It begins with a thorough assessment by your dental professional, who will check your teeth and gums before starting the treatment.

The Airflow® system then gently sprays a controlled stream of warm water, air, and ultra-fine powder across your teeth. This pain-free process removes plaque, surface stains, and harmful biofilm — even in hard-to-reach areas. There’s no scraping or discomfort, and many patients say it feels like a deep clean with a spa-like finish.

You’ll leave with a noticeably fresher, smoother, and brighter smile — all in around 30 minutes.

Am I a Candidate for AirFlow?

Most likely, yes! Airflow® is suitable for almost all patients — especially those looking for a gentle yet highly effective hygiene treatment. It’s ideal if you have sensitive teeth, stubborn stains, or want a more comfortable alternative to traditional scaling. Your dentist or hygienist can confirm if it’s right for you during your consultation.

What Happens If I Skip Hygiene Appointments?

Skipping regular hygiene visits can lead to a build-up of plaque and biofilm, increasing your risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. Over time, untreated issues can become more complex and costly to fix. Regular Airflow® treatments help keep your mouth healthy, clean, and free of hidden bacteria — especially in hard-to-reach areas.

Does AirFlow hurt?

Not at all! Airflow® is designed to be gentle and pain-free — even for patients with sensitive teeth or gums. It uses a warm stream of air, water, and fine powder to clean the teeth without scraping or discomfort. Most patients find it comfortable and even refreshing.

Can I get AirFlow if I have braces or implants?

Yes! Airflow® is safe and effective for cleaning around braces, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and other dental restorations. It can reach places that are often missed by traditional cleaning methods, helping to prevent plaque build-up around hard-to-clean areas.

How often should I have AirFlow treatment?

We typically recommend Airflow® treatment every 6 months as part of your regular hygiene routine. However, if you have gum disease, orthodontic appliances, or higher stain build-up from smoking or certain drinks, we may suggest more frequent visits. Your clinician will tailor a plan that suits your needs.
