Recommended at least once a year, dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar from the teeth. These accumulate over time, leading to issues like gum disease if left untreated. The AIRFLOW Master Piezon® is an innovative tool created to aid professional cleanings. Not only does it remove buildup more effectively, but it also creates a more comfortable setting for the patient. Here’s more information about this technology.

How the AIRFLOW Master Piezon® Improves Dental Cleanings

Effective Removal of Plaque & Stains

Even with daily brushing and flossing, you might still experience problems with plaque buildup. This is just one of the many reasons why regular dental cleanings are so important, as they remove any plaque missed during your at-home dental care routine. Using a combination of pressurized air and water, this device blasts away remaining plaque, while also handling tough stain removal on tooth enamel. 

Plaque and bacteria can also hide under your gums. Over time, this can cause damage to the soft tissue, leading to gingivitis and gum recession. The handpiece on this tool allows dentists to access pockets caused by gum disease. This allows for a deeper clean that reverses gingivitis, decreasing the risk of decay. 

Ultrasonic Scaling of Plaque & Tartar

The AIRFLOW Master Piezon can also be used for scaling procedures. Scaling removes hardened deposits from the teeth to prevent decay due to advanced gum disease. Ultrasonic scaling features a dental tool that vibrates at a frequency that removes tartar from the surface of the teeth. Ultrasonic scaling takes less time than traditional scaling procedures and is usually painless.
