EMS Airflow Tooth Polishing

EMS Airflow is becoming the gold standard in professional teeth cleaning worldwide. It is an advanced, non-contact dental cleaning technique developed by Electro Medical Systems (EMS), a Swiss company renowned for its innovation in dental prophylaxis. As part of the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) approach, this system utilises a controlled stream of air, warm water, and fine powder particles to effectively remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth. Unlike traditional scaling and polishing, which rely on abrasive tools, EMS Airflow offers a gentler, pain-free experience with no direct contact on the teeth. It is particularly beneficial for patients with sensitive teeth, gum disease, or dental implants, and is ideal for patients who consume coffee, red wine, or tobacco. EMS Airflow tooth polishing works faster than traditional methods to remove plaque, stains, and biofilm, reducing overall chair time for both patients and practitioners. This system is particularly effective for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, including around braces, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and deep gum pockets, and is safe for both adults and children. The biofilm disclosure step ensures that no plaque is left behind, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and peri-implantitis. Vogue Dental chooses this professional teeth cleaning method as it supports long-term oral health by promoting early intervention and precise cleaning.

EMS Airflow tooth polishing is based on Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a systematic approach to professional teeth cleaning that is minimally invasive, highly efficient, and comfortable for patients. The process involves:

1. Plaque Disclosure – A special dye is applied to highlight areas of biofilm (bacterial plaque).
2. Airflow Polishing – Using the EMS Airflow device, a fine stream of powder (often Erythritol or Sodium Bicarbonate) mixed with warm water and air is directed at the teeth and gums. The warm water component is adjustable up to 40°C which improves comfort for patients with sensitivity.
3. Perioflow (if necessary) – For deep cleaning, the Perioflow nozzle delivers the same mixture into periodontal pockets, ensuring thorough cleaning around implants and orthodontic appliances.
4. Final Polishing & Protection – A final check ensures all biofilm is removed, followed by fluoride application for added protection.

Because EMS Airflow Tooth Polishing is so gentle on the mouth, at Vogue Dental in Chislehurst, we are able to use air-polishing on almost all our patients – even those with restorations such as implants, orthodontic treatments, and sensitive teeth.

Not only will air-polishing have you leaving us in Chislehurst with that fresh and refreshed feeling, and brighter looking teeth. It can also help prevent tooth decay and gum disease from occurring by removing any plaque or tartar that may be present.
