It’s true: A brighter, healthier smile is possible through enhanced dental hygiene technology
After over 50 years of cleaning teeth the same way, it is time for a more comfortable solution. Leading dental experts along with Switzerland’s EMS Medical have dedicated years of clinical research to bring you a brighter, healthier smile. At our You First Dental office, we introduce a pain-free, more effective teeth cleaning experience through ‘Guided Biofilm Therapy’.
What does Guided Biofilm Therapy mean and why is it important to me, as a patient?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern, revolutionary approach to dental hygiene that focuses on the systematic removal of dental biofilm (plaque) and stain while enhancing patient comfort and overall oral health. Here’s a breakdown of what GBT involves and its 5 key features:
- Assessment: GBT starts with a thorough assessment of the patient’s oral biofilm. This involves using disclosing solutions or specialized tools to visualize and identify areas where biofilm is present.
- Guided Biofilm Removal: Using advanced technology such as the AirFlow system, dental professionals target and remove biofilm efficiently. The AirFlow system combines air, water, and a fine powder to effectively clean teeth and remove biofilm, stains, and debris. The “guided” part of the therapy refers to the systematic approach of targeting specific areas based on the initial assessment.
- Polishing: After the biofilm removal, teeth are polished to smooth the surfaces and remove any remaining stains. This step enhances the tooth’s appearance and helps to make it more resistant to plaque buildup.
- Fluoride or Other Remineralizing Agents: Often, a fluoride treatment or other remineralizing agents are applied to help strengthen the enamel and protect against cavities.
- Patient Education: GBT includes educating patients about proper oral hygiene techniques and providing personalized recommendations to help them maintain their oral health between visits.
5 Patient Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy:
- Comprehensive Care: GBT provides a thorough approach to cleaning and maintaining oral health, targeting biofilm more effectively than traditional methods.
- Patient Comfort: The process is generally more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing, as the AirFlow system is less abrasive and minimizes discomfort.
- Enhanced Results: GBT can be more effective in removing biofilm and stains, leading to improved oral health outcomes and a brighter smile.
- Prevention Focused: By focusing on biofilm removal and patient education, GBT aims to prevent oral health issues such as gum disease and cavities.
- Modern Technology: Utilizes advanced tools and techniques, making the cleaning process more efficient and less invasive.
Overall, Guided Biofilm Therapy represents a modern, patient-centered approach to dental hygiene, aiming to improve both the effectiveness and comfort of dental cleanings.
Regular dental hygiene appointments are essential to avoid dental problems down the road
Living in Airdrie, Alberta, offers a beautiful lifestyle, but amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to neglect one critical aspect of health: dental hygiene. At You First Dental, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal oral health and are dedicated to helping our community achieve it.
The Consequences of Neglecting Dental Hygiene in Airdrie
Neglecting dental hygiene can lead to a host of oral health problems that can have far-reaching effects on your overall well-being. Here are some issues that can arise from poor dental hygiene:
Cavities and Tooth Decay
Plaque buildup on your teeth can lead to cavities and tooth decay. When plaque is not removed regularly through brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, it turns into tartar, which can cause further damage to your teeth.
Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a serious condition that can result from inadequate dental hygiene. Early stages, known as gingivitis, cause inflammation and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to tooth loss and even affecting your general health.
Bad Breath
Neglecting dental hygiene often results in persistent bad breath, also known as halitosis. This can be caused by food particles left in the mouth, bacteria buildup, and gum disease.
Systemic Health Issues
Poor oral health has been linked to various systemic health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Maintaining good dental hygiene is crucial not just for your mouth, but for your entire body.
