Pain-Free Cleanings With AIRFLOW® Technology
A Cleaning That Feels Nothing Like the Old Way
A traditional cleaning relies on metal scalers that scrape plaque off your teeth — the poking, the scraping, and that high-pitched vibration are exactly what most people dread about the hygienist's chair. AIRFLOW® changes that completely. Instead of metal instruments, our hygienist uses a precise stream of warm water, air, and a fine, sweet-tasting powder to lift away plaque, stain, and biofilm — gently, thoroughly, and virtually pain-free.
Here's what makes an AIRFLOW® cleaning different from the one you're used to:
-
No Metal Tools, No Pain
Because no metal scalers ever touch your teeth, there is nothing to scrape, poke, or scratch. The water can be warmed or cooled to your preference, so even sensitive teeth and tender gums stay comfortable from start to finish. Most patients say it feels more like a refreshing rinse than a dental cleaning.
-
A Sweet-Tasting, Tooth-Friendly Powder
The AIRFLOW® PLUS powder is made from erythritol — a naturally occurring, tooth-friendly sweetener. Unlike sugar, erythritol actually discourages the cavity-causing bacteria that build up on your teeth, so the very powder that polishes your smile is helping to protect it at the same time.
-
Reaches What Scraping Can't
The fine air-and-powder stream flows into deep grooves, along the gumline, and around implants, crowns, and braces — the exact spots where metal instruments struggle. Biofilm and stubborn coffee, tea, and wine stains lift away without harming your enamel.
Watch: Go Beyond Traditional Cleanings
Why AIRFLOW® Beats a Traditional Cleaning
Gentler, faster, and more thorough than the metal-scaler method.
No metal scaler ever touches your teeth, so there is nothing to scrape or poke. Warm water keeps sensitive teeth and gums comfortable, and patients who used to dread cleanings actually relax in the chair.
Complete Clean
The air-and-powder stream reaches deep grooves, the gumline, and tight spots around implants and braces that metal tools miss. It clears biofilm and lifts stubborn coffee, tea, and wine stains for a genuinely deeper clean.
Enamel & Gums
Because it polishes with air and a fine powder instead of scraping, AIRFLOW® is gentle on tooth enamel and soft gum tissue. You get a bright, smooth, freshly polished feel without the abrasion or irritation of traditional scaling.
Guided Biofilm Therapy: The AIRFLOW® Experience
A step-by-step clean, personalized to your mouth.
AIRFLOW® is the heart of Guided Biofilm Therapy — a modern, evidence-based approach that finds the plaque and biofilm hiding on your teeth, then removes it in the gentlest way possible. Every visit is tailored to what your mouth actually needs that day, not a one-size-fits-all scrape.
Patients tell us the same thing again and again: once they've had a cleaning this comfortable and this thorough, going back to the old metal-scaler routine is simply not an option. It's the kind of visit you actually look forward to.
Here's how a Guided Biofilm Therapy visit unfolds:

AIRFLOW® Cleanings: Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does an AIRFLOW® cleaning really not hurt?
Correct. Because no metal tools are used, AIRFLOW® cleanings are essentially pain-free. Warm water and a fine powder do the work instead of scraping, so even patients with sensitive teeth and gums stay comfortable from start to finish.
-
How is AIRFLOW® different from a traditional cleaning?
A traditional cleaning uses metal instruments to manually scrape plaque and tartar off your teeth. AIRFLOW® instead uses a controlled stream of air, water, and fine erythritol powder. It's far gentler, more comfortable, and reaches biofilm in grooves and along the gumline that scraping can miss — while also removing surface stains at the same time.
-
Can AIRFLOW® remove tough coffee, tea, and wine stains?
Yes. The gentle abrasiveness of the air, water, and powder polishes away stubborn coffee, tea, and wine stains without affecting your enamel, leaving your teeth noticeably brighter and smoother.
-
Is it safe for sensitive teeth, implants, and braces?
Absolutely. AIRFLOW® was designed to be safe and comfortable for everyone, including patients with sensitive teeth. It is especially effective around implants, crowns, and braces, where reaching every surface with metal tools can be difficult.
-
How long does an AIRFLOW® appointment take?
Most visits take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how much plaque and stain is present and the overall condition of your teeth and gums.
-
How often should I get an AIRFLOW® cleaning?
For most patients, every six months keeps biofilm under control. After your visit we will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs.
