Airflow

Airflow & Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) at Rhyl Smiles

A Gentle Yet Powerful Way to Deep Clean Your Teeth.

At Rhyl Smiles, we’re proud to offer the latest in dental hygiene technology with Airflow and Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) a modern, minimally invasive treatment that provides a superior clean and a more comfortable patient experience.

What Is Airflow?

Airflow is a state-of-the-art hygiene treatment that uses a powerful yet gentle combination of air, warm water, and fine powder to remove plaque, staining, and harmful bacteria (biofilm) from teeth and gums.

It’s more efficient and comfortable than traditional scale and polish treatments, and it’s especially effective for cleaning:

• Hard-to-reach areas
• Around orthodontic appliances (like braces)
• Dental implants and crowns
• Below the gum line

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a scientifically proven approach to hygiene care. It involves using a harmless disclosing dye to reveal plaque (biofilm) on your teeth and gums allowing our hygienist to target only the areas that need cleaning, without over-instrumentation.

The process includes:

1. Biofilm disclosure to visualise problem areas
2. Airflow to gently remove biofilm, stains, and early tartar
3. Ultrasonic instruments (if needed) to remove any remaining hard deposits
4. Polishing for a smooth, clean finish

Benefits of Airflow & GBT:

• Minimally invasive and pain-free
• Safe for sensitive teeth
• Ideal for braces, implants, and veneers
• Removes stubborn stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine, or smoking
• More thorough and personalised than traditional hygiene treatments
• Helps prevent gum disease and maintain long-term oral health
