Keep your teeth for life, but how?

Abstract

Keep your teeth for life, but how? Drs Marcel Donnet and Neha Dixit discuss the importance of teeth cleaning and how the innovative AIRFLOW® PLUS powder can tackle biofilm and safeguard oral health. Researchers have long discussed the importance of teeth cleaning and the link between a healthy mouth and providing a good foundation for a healthy body. Luckily, the association between oral and overall health is becoming increasingly well-known. Together with researchers and clinicians, EMS has developed Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) to completely remove plaque (also known as biofilm) and calculus. In eight steps, patients are diagnosed, motivated by disclosing and treated to a wellness-like experience. Here, Drs Donnet and Dixit look to the challenges associated with teeth cleaning, how dentists can remove biofilm, and whether powder have any negative impacts or damage the tooth surface or structure. Overall, they argue that from the patient’s point of view, their methods will provide the most comfortable, pain-free treatment option for effective teeth cleaning.
