Yes! It’s called an air polisher—a newer technology that’s making dental cleanings more comfortable than ever.
Alongside traditional tools used to remove tartar and biofilm, your hygienist can use an air polisher to gently clean and polish your teeth. It combines warm water with a fine powder, creating a smooth, effective clean with a slightly sweet taste.
For patients who find cleanings uncomfortable, this can be a game changer. It’s gentler, less abrasive, and leaves your teeth feeling incredibly fresh.
I tried it myself last year and immediately thought, “I want every patient to have this.”
The response at our clinic has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’ve even added another unit to keep up with demand.
Ask your hygienist about air polishing at your next visit and upgrade your cleaning experience.
