FAQs - dental hygiene

What is EMS Airflow and how does it work?

EMS Airflow is an advanced dental hygiene technology that uses a combination of air, warm water, and fine powder to remove plaque, bacteria, and surface stains from your teeth and gums. It is a pain-free alternative to traditional scaling and polishing, making it ideal for sensitive teeth and gums.

How is EMS Airflow different from traditional scaling?

Unlike traditional scaling, which uses metal instruments to scrape plaque and tartar, EMS Airflow is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that effectively cleans your teeth without discomfort. It can reach difficult areas around braces, implants, and bridges, providing a deeper clean with minimal irritation.

Does EMS Airflow teeth cleaning hurt?

No, EMS Airflow is a pain-free treatment and is much more comfortable than traditional scaling. The warm water mist and fine powder spray gently remove plaque and stains without scraping your teeth, making it a great choice for sensitive patients.

How often should I have a dental hygiene appointment?

Most people should visit a dental hygienist every six months for a professional clean. However, if you are prone to gum disease, plaque buildup, or have braces, implants, or dental bridges, you may need more frequent visits as advised by your dentist.

Can EMS Airflow remove stains from teeth?

Yes! EMS Airflow is highly effective at removing stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking. While it won’t whiten your teeth beyond their natural shade, it will make them look brighter and fresher by eliminating surface stains.

Is EMS Airflow suitable for people with sensitive teeth?

Yes, EMS Airflow is ideal for patients with sensitive teeth because it doesn’t involve direct contact with the tooth surface. The warm water and fine powder ensure a comfortable cleaning experience, unlike traditional scraping methods that can cause discomfort.

Can children have dental hygiene therapy?

Yes! We offer child maintenance gingival therapy for 7-16-year-olds, starting from £45. This treatment helps keep their gums healthy and prevents early signs of gum disease or plaque buildup, especially important for children wearing braces or retainers.

Can I book a hygiene appointment if I’m not a registered patient?

Yes, we welcome both new and existing patients for hygiene appointments. If you are new to our practice, we recommend booking a new patient hygiene therapy session, which includes a full assessment and an EMS Airflow deep clean.

How do I book a dental hygiene appointment with you?

Booking an appointment is easy! Simply call our practice or visit us in Truro to schedule your EMS Airflow hygiene therapy. Our friendly team will be happy to help you choose the best option for your needs.
