Every self-respecting person dreams of having beautiful and healthy teeth. Firstly, it’s very pleasant. And secondly, a dazzling smile always helps to attract an interlocutor, thereby playing an important role in concluding contracts, getting the desired vacancy or making new interesting acquaintances.
On television, there is constantly an advertisement for the "best in the world" toothpastes and chewing gums that make teeth clean and snow-white on the screen in a second. But in life, unfortunately, not everything is so wonderful and wonderful. Of course, if a person brushes his teeth daily with high-quality toothpaste, he has fewer problems with his oral cavity than someone who does not. But one hundred percent purity, and especially whiteness of the teeth, is still impossible to achieve. Each person has such areas in his mouth that you can’t clean any quality with a toothbrush. This primarily refers to the gaps between the teeth. No matter how hard you try, the smallest, sometimes difficult to see with the eye, food particles remain there. This creates an excellent environment for the active life of bacteria, which invariably leads to caries and other troubles.
Enamel color has its own problems. For smokers, it turns yellow from nicotine, for coffee lovers and tea lovers - from the substances contained in these drinks. Enamel is painted in unsightly colors and various fruits, juices, any food in which dyes are added. Here you cannot achieve perfect whiteness with toothpastes alone.
In order for the oral cavity to be as clean as possible and the teeth healthy, they came up with Air Flow, that is, a method of cleaning teeth based on sandblasting technology. Of course, teeth are not brushed with sand, but with special particles. Only the method is taken as the basis. Thus, Air Flow is the removal of plaque from the teeth with abrasive particles of sodium bicarbonate powder, supplied under pressure together with an air-water mixture.
About Air Flow, patient reviews differ slightly. Some consider this procedure completely painless and even pleasant in some ways, since sodium bicarbonate is given the taste of citrus, which many people like. Others experience some soreness, especially during the cleaning of the near-gingival areas.
Regarding the bloodlessness of the Air Flow procedure, the reviews are also uneven. Someone almost never happens during blood purification , someone has her mouth full. It depends on the condition of the patient’s gums, and not on the method. Especially bleeding gums in those who have gengevitis. But in such cases, a high-quality removal of plaque using Air Flow is even more necessary, since all microbes are removed, which helps to treat the disease. So for the sake of the end result, you can tolerate.
Moreover, about him, that is, about the result after applying Air Flow, the patient reviews absolutely coincide. All who have undergone this procedure note perfect freshness in the oral cavity, which is much closer to the snow-white color of tooth enamel and the improvement of the state of the gums. Some complain of tooth sensitivity to hot, cold and sour after the Air Flow procedure. Indeed, these symptoms are observed because the particles of the abrasive, no matter how negligible they are, still violate the enamel cuticle. To restore it requires two to three hours, during which you can not use neither cold nor hot. If the soreness of the teeth and gums does not go away for a long time after the procedure, it means that the patient has too thin and sensitive enamel, and before carrying out Air Flow, he had to consult with his attending physician, and after the procedure, make up for the lost mineral composition tooth enamel appropriate procedures.
For everyone else, Air Flow tooth brushing for prophylactic purposes is needed at least once a year.
In addition to prevention, Air Flow tooth enamel is cleaned when braces, implants are placed, before the fluoridation therapy procedure and before the tooth enamel whitening procedure.
Air Flow bleaching also occurs, but only because plaque is removed from the tooth. That is, the color of the tooth after the Air Flow procedure does not change, but only becomes a natural, not darkened plaque.
Air Flow also does not clean tartar. This is carried out using ultrasound or a laser. But cleaning with Air Flow allows you to return the tooth to its natural color, to make visible all the places where caries is just beginning, thereby ensuring its timely treatment, and to destroy bacteria that multiply in plaque.
The feelings about the Air Flow procedure are also different, but it depends not only on the technology itself, but on the professionalism of the doctors. If the dentist and his assistant carry out all the actions clearly and coherently, they remove the spent liquid and abrasive powder from the patient's mouth with a dental vacuum cleaner and saliva eater, the patient does not experience strong negative feelings, especially since the procedure takes only about half an hour. But even those who can not stand the discomfort at all, need to be patient a little and be sure to clean the enamel using Air Flow technology to have healthy teeth and a charming smile.
One thing is bad, Air Flow is not for everyone. It is not advisable to use it for patients with asthma and chronic bronchitis, people who are allergic to citrus fruits and those who are on a salt-free diet.
