What Is It?
*Source: EMS
EMS AIRFLOW is an advanced, non-contact type of dental maintenance and
prevention. It discharges a
controlled stream of air, warm water and superfine powder onto the tooth. It
also focuses on those hard-
to-reach areas to dislodge and remove food particles, plaque, discolouration
and stains.
What Are Some Benefits?
Here are some fantastic reasons why we chose to offer EMS AIRFLOW:
It uses a high-pressure water/air stream to quickly, efficiently and
comfortably clean your teeth.
For added comfort, we have the ability to adjust the temperature on the
AIRFLOW. This feature is
particularly attractive for children or patients with sensitivity.
There is much less, if any scraping, discomfort or unpleasant taste after
treatment.
EMS AIRFLOW and Guided Biofilm Therapy Treatment

Did you know that approximately 1mm of dental plaque contains over 200
million bacteria? If left
untreated, the bacteria can increase and develop a biofilm. Biofilm is a
collection of bacteria that can
produce gum disease and compromise your body’s immune defences. When
utilising the AIRFLOW
Prophylaxis Master device, your dentist or dental therapist will place a
coloured dye onto your teeth to
reveal any plaque and biofilm that’s present in your mouth. This tool can
help to foster thorough oral
hygiene. That’s because it exposes the areas in your mouth that you need to
spend some more time
cleaning at home. Next, your dentist or oral therapist will use the AIRFLOW
to eliminate plaque buildup.
This crucial action can help to prevent and treat gingivitis (gum disease)
and periodontitis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the system detect plaque?
Your dentist or hygienist will first have you rinse your mouth with
mouthwash and then will apply a
coloured dye to your teeth to easily see where plaque is present so we can
remove it. Your teeth will be
cleaned thoroughly leaving you with a sparkling smile.
Does the EMS AIRFLOW system treat gingivitis?
It can help remove plaque buildup that can lead to gum conditions such as
gingivitis. If we determine that
you have severe gum disease, we may recommend a deep clean.
Can this system remove tartar?
If your teeth are covered in tartar or hard calculus, it may be necessary to
utilise an additional ultrasonic
system on your teeth. Thanks to the AIRFLOW system’s power, the time needed
for the ultrasonic
system is significantly reduced.
Can the system be used if I wear metal braces or have other cosmetic work
such as crowns, veneers, or
implants?
Yes, because EMS AIRFLOW is gentle it won’t affect any permanent dental work
like crowns or veneers
or temporary work such as metal braces.
Does it cost more?
Owing to the additional costs of disposable items used in the procedure, it
does cost on average $20
more than your regular scale and polish especially if we are removing
stains.
