Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) using AIRFLOW® is a predictable, pain-free, and patient-focused approach to hygiene appointments. Unlike the old school way of cleaning the teeth, getting a GBT means you’re receiving a more superior treatment every time you visit your hygienist.
Biofilm (plaque) is a sticky mass of bacteria that builds up on our teeth. If it is not removed, it hardens and turns into calculus (tartar). You cannot really see, feel, or smell it, but biofilm is the main cause of cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss.
With Guided Biofilm Therapy, we are able to effectively yet gently remove biofilm that clings to your teeth and gums without the manual scraping that often causes pain and discomfort. We make biofilm visible with a process called “disclosing”. With the AIRFLOW® powder mixed with warm water and air, we can eliminate up to 100% of biofilm. GBT also removes stain and young calculus on the teeth.
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a highly effective and gentle treatment which makes it ideal for people gum disease, tooth sensitivity, orthodontic braces, implants, bridges, veneers, and all other dental restorations. It can be used to remove biofilm from the tongue and the gums. Yes, it’s great for kids too!
Guided Biofilm Therapy delivers a more effective clean in less amount of time. Simply put, it’s a hygiene treatment that makes you feel good.
