Guided Biofilm Therapy in Waltham
A Modern Approach to Dental Cleaning: Guided Biofilm Therapy with Airflow Style Technology
At The Flossery, we are committed to offering modern, gentle, and effective dental care rooted in science and comfort.
Our use of Guided Biofilm Therapy with airflow style technology reflects our holistic and preventive philosophy. By focusing on the root causes of dental disease and using tools that are safer and more precise, we aim to help our patients maintain long-term oral and overall health.
What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is an evidence-based protocol designed to remove harmful oral biofilm (the soft, sticky layer of bacteria that causes decay and gum disease) in the most comfortable and precise way possible. Instead of traditional scraping and polishing, GBT uses a sequence of steps and advanced technology to target and remove plaque with minimal invasiveness.
Why Biofilm Matters
Biofilm isn’t just plaque—it’s a complex bacterial structure that can lead to tooth decay, gum inflammation, and even contribute to systemic health conditions if left untreated. Traditional cleanings often miss parts of the biofilm or can be uncomfortable for patients with sensitive teeth or gum recession. GBT addresses this with a more comprehensive and patient-friendly approach.
How Airflow Style Technology Works
We use an airflow style device that delivers a controlled jet of warm water, air, and a gentle, fine powder to dislodge biofilm, plaque, and early-stage tartar—without scraping. While we do not use the branded AIRFLOW® system, our technology functions similarly and follows the same GBT principles for effective, comfortable cleaning.
Benefits of Airflow Style Cleanings
- Gentle & Comfortable: No metal scraping or harsh polishing pastes. This is ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, braces, implants, or restorations.
- Thorough Cleaning: Targets biofilm in hard-to-reach areas like between teeth and beneath the gums, where traditional tools can fall short.
- Minimally Invasive: Helps preserve tooth enamel and soft tissue by avoiding unnecessary mechanical stress.
- Faster Appointments: The technology allows for quicker cleanings without compromising on thoroughness.
- Kids & Adults Love It: The warm water and gentle pressure make the experience more pleasant for all ages.
Paired with ozone and laser therapy, this style of cleaning offers a powerful trifecta for gum health. These advanced therapies work synergistically to eliminate harmful bacteria, support tissue healing, and create an oral environment where healthy bacteria can thrive. The result? Cleaner teeth, healthier gums, and a lower risk of future disease.
