Guided Biofilm Therapy in Downtown Edmonton
Guided Biofilm Therapy Near You
Have you ever experienced a sticky substance on your teeth that remains after brushing? Do your gums bleed during flossing, or do they get sore sometimes? That sticky layer is known as biofilm, which can be the cause of cavities and gum disease. We at Toothworks Dentistry offer guided biofilm therapy in Downtown Edmonton, a novel and less uncomfortable method of gum protection and tooth cleaning.
This treatment employs certain instruments to get rid of bacteria that cause harm to the oral cavity, but there is no scraping or poking. If you are searching for guided biofilm therapy near you, our smile care team is ready to support you.
What Is Biofilm and Why Does It Need to Go
Biofilm is a soft layer of bacteria that sticks to your teeth and gums. It’s what causes bad breath, bleeding gums, and even tooth loss if not removed properly. Regular brushing helps, but biofilm can hide in places your toothbrush can’t reach.
With guided biofilm therapy, the locations of biofilm are indicated by a special dye. Then, we gently remove it using warm water and air pressure—no sharp tools needed. A dentist in Downtown Edmonton will make sure your teeth are cleaned safely and comfortably.
Who Should Try Guided Biofilm Therapy
- Gums bleeding while brushing or flossing.
- Having braces, implants, or crowns
- Desiring a soft cleaning method
- You’re prone to cavities or gum problems
- Keeping your mouth fresh between appointments
What Happens During Your Cleaning Visit
- Step 1: Biofilm Detection
A safe dye is applied to your teeth and gums, which marks the areas where biofilm is hiding. - Step 2: Gentle Cleaning
We clean your teeth using the AIRFLOW® instrument, which combines water, air, and a fine powder. The treatment can remove biofilm, stains, and bacteria; however, no scraping is done. - Step 3: Final Check and Polish
We check that the whole oral cavity is clean and free of diseases. Your teeth will be clean and smooth, while your gums will be healthy.
