What Exactly Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Everyone’s teeth are susceptible to a layer of bacteria known as biofilm. This substance, which is sticky and clear, accumulates on teeth and gums. Regular removal of biofilm during dental cleanings is crucial to prevent buildup, which can lead to gum disease and enamel erosion.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) employs AIRFLOW® technology to enhance the removal of biofilm, effectively combating decay and gum disease. This innovative system allows for a more thorough cleaning process. While the duration of the cleaning remains consistent, the efficiency and effectiveness of the procedure are significantly improved, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning without extending your time in the dental chair. This makes the whole experience more comfortable and beneficial for your oral health.
How Guided Biofilm Therapy Works
To understand how Guided Biofilm Therapy works, let’s break it down into steps:
- Assessment: The dental hygienist checks your teeth for signs of tooth decay or gum disease.
- Disclosure: A solution is used that detects biofilm. Depending on the color of the solution on the teeth, the dental hygienist will know which areas to focus on cleaning.
- Teach: The hygienist then explains to you the problem areas, so you can make sure you floss and brush correctly.
- AIRFLOW®: Then, they use the innovative AIRFLOW® technology to remove biofilm.
- More cleaning: Other tools are used for those who have periodontal disease. Some scaling may be needed to remove plaque, but the system makes it easier to identify plaque and clean it deeply
With this AIRFLOW® technology, the process is thorough and extra hygienic. We are happy to offer AIRFLOW® technology and are one of the only dental offices in the area to do so. Curious about Guided Biofilm Therapy? Give us a call to learn more!
Advantages of Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm is a great option because it’s gentle. This minimally invasive treatment works for people with gum diseases, dental implants, braces, and other dental issues. The cleaning method is also effective but gentle enough to use on tongues, gums, and metal braces.
You’ll also learn more about your own mouth and teeth. Everyone has slightly different problem areas, such as places where they don’t floss well enough. The treatment helps you identify these areas to prevent cavities.
