Airflow polishing is an elective part of your hygiene appointment, enhancing the clean your hygienist performs.
It’s an excellent option for anyone who wants the peace of mind that comes with knowing their teeth are virtually plaque and tartar-free. Airflow also removes cumulative staining as a result of diet and smoking.

What is Airflow Hygiene Polishing?
We offer two types of Airflow polishing:
Stain-blasting and Remineralising
Sylc by AquaCare targets dietary and smoking stains, leaving your teeth looking shiny and feeling smooth. It encourages remineralisation, reducing tooth sensitivity and resulting in a strengthened tooth surface.
Plaque Banishing
Sodium bicarbonate power is used to remove hard-to-reach plaque and tartar.
Your dentist here at Kirby Dental Practice will advise on the type of Airflow needed. This is based on their findings after having examined your gums and teeth and assessed your risk factors for gum disease.
This usually involves asking you a few general questions about your lifestyle habits and medical history and carrying out a full consultation and examination.
