What is AIRFLOW® Guided Biofilm Therapy?
AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master is a state-of-the-art dental cleaning technology that uses a controlled stream of pressurised air, warm water, and fine medical-grade powder to gently remove biofilm, plaque, and surface stains from teeth, gums, and restorations. Unlike traditional scaling and polishing, AIRFLOW® focuses on biofilm disruption first—targeting the primary cause of gum disease, decay, and inflammation—before addressing calculus (tartar) where necessary.
This approach aligns with the latest evidence-based preventive dentistry protocols, ensuring thorough cleaning while minimising discomfort and unnecessary abrasion.
How AIRFLOW® differs from traditional cleaning
Conventional dental cleaning typically relies on metal scalers and ultrasonic instruments to remove plaque and tartar, followed by polishing. While effective, this method can sometimes feel uncomfortable, particularly for patients with sensitive teeth, inflamed gums, or dental anxiety. AIRFLOW® takes a gentler, highly effective approach:
Non-invasive vs. mechanical scraping: Biofilm is removed without aggressive contact with the tooth surface.
Gentler on enamel and gums: The controlled spray reduces pressure on sensitive areas.
More comfortable experience: Minimal vibration, heat, and noise compared to traditional ultrasonic scalers.
Greater precision: The slim nozzle reaches between teeth, along the gumline, and around implants, crowns, and veneers.
The result is a cleaner mouth with less irritation and greater comfort.
What to expect during your AIRFLOW® treatment
Your AIRFLOW® appointment is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and thorough.
1. Assessment and personalised care
Your clinician will assess your oral health, identify areas of plaque accumulation, and determine the most appropriate cleaning approach for your needs.
2. Gentle biofilm removal
The AIRFLOW® handpiece delivers a fine mist of air, water, and powder to remove biofilm and stains from all tooth surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas.
3. Targeted calculus removal (if needed)
If hardened tartar is present, your clinician may use a complementary instrument to remove it precisely and conservatively.
4. Final polish and refresh
Your teeth are left smooth, clean, and refreshed, with a noticeably lighter and brighter appearance.
The procedure is typically quiet, comfortable, and well-tolerated—even for patients with sensitive teeth or a strong gag reflex.

Frequently asked questions
Is AIRFLOW® painful?
No. Most patients find AIRFLOW® more comfortable than traditional cleaning. The process is gentle, non-invasive, and typically pain-free.
Does AIRFLOW® replace traditional scaling?
In many cases, yes. For patients with minimal tartar, AIRFLOW® alone may be sufficient. If significant calculus is present, your clinician may combine AIRFLOW® with targeted scaling.
Is AIRFLOW® safe for implants and veneers?
Yes. AIRFLOW® is specifically designed to clean around implants and restorations without causing damage.
Will my teeth look whiter?
AIRFLOW® can significantly reduce surface stains, resulting in a brighter appearance. However, it is not a whitening treatment and does not change the natural colour of your teeth.
How often should I have AIRFLOW®?
For most patients, every 6 months as part of routine preventive care. Some individuals with higher risk of gum disease may benefit from more frequent visits.
Is AIRFLOW® suitable for children?
Yes. The gentle, quiet nature of AIRFLOW® makes it an excellent option for younger patients or those new to dental care.
