What Is Airflow?
Its creation stems from a fusion of engineering and dental expertise. AIRFLOW Hygiene Therapy represents an advanced dental instrument renowned for its efficacy and efficiency in dental cleaning.
AIRFLOW Hygiene Therapy devices, comprising a bespoke handpiece blending air, water, and fine powder particles, connect to compressed air and water supplies, generating a controlled spray.
These devices also incorporate a powder chamber housing specific powders required for the procedure.
The cleaning powders, typically a blend of sodium bicarbonate and glycine, are chosen for their gentle abrasive qualities, effectively removing stains and plaque without harm to teeth or gums.
