Banishing plaque without the need of scraping.
At Reading Dental Spa, we’re all about innovation, in particular, technology that makes a patient’s time at the dentist more comfortable. Nothing screams this more than Airflow® tooth polishing.
Reading patients can benefit from this cutting-edge cleaning treatment that utilises a combination of water, sodium bicarbonate and air to remove unwanted plaque build-up and polish teeth. Say goodbye to invasive scraping and hello to a non-invasive and comfortable process that delivers results.
Why should you opt for Airflow® tooth polishing?
The treatment is great at removing superficial teeth staining and debris, but what it’s particularly known for is its ability to eradicate plaque build-up, also known as tartar. Unfortunately, when plaque hardens, it forms tartar, which is very difficult to remove by brushing alone. In the past, removing plaque involved a visit to the hygienist, who would physically scrape the plaque away.
As a dental spa, we want to ensure patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their time here, and airflow tooth polishing allows us to do that. As a preventative care-led dentist, we recommend treatments such as this to patients whenever possible.

FAQs
Is Airflow® good for teeth?
Airflow® tooth polishing uses a high-pressure jet to reach the front and back of the teeth, removing bacteria, debris, plaque and staining. It’s also good for cleaning out periodontal pockets, and in some instances, it may be used in place of a whitening treatment. So, yes, it’s a great addition to your oral hygiene routine and is safe for teeth.
How does the Airflow® system work?
A powerful jet of compressed air, water and bicarbonate particles is directed towards the tooth’s surface. The non-contact, light abrasive action is sufficient to remove debris, staining and plaque from in and around the teeth.
Does Airflow® polishing hurt?
No. It’s a non-contact, non-invasive procedure, so it’s great for sensitive teeth. Patients may feel a slight tingling sensation, but other than that, it remains a comfortable procedure.
How long does the procedure take?
Timings depend on how bad your teeth are. Typically, treatments take around 30 minutes to complete, but they may take longer.
