Airflow Stain Removal
Airflow is a gentle professional treatment used to remove surface staining, soft plaque and biofilm from the teeth. Using a controlled stream of warm water, air and fine powder, it can lift stains caused by everyday habits such as tea, coffee, red wine and smoking. The result is a cleaner, smoother and fresher-looking smile without changing the natural colour of your teeth.
Who Can Benefit from Airflow?
Airflow can be especially useful if you have visible surface staining from tea, coffee, red wine, smoking, vaping or strongly coloured foods.
It can also help remove soft plaque and biofilm from areas that are more difficult to reach, making it a useful addition to professional hygiene care. It is particularly popular before special occasions or when you simply want your smile to look cleaner and brighter.
What Happens During Airflow Treatment?
A fine stream of warm water, air and polishing powder is directed across the teeth to gently lift away surface stains, plaque and biofilm.
The treatment is quick and comfortable for most patients and can reach around the teeth and gum line without the heavy polishing sometimes associated with traditional methods. Hardened tartar may still need to be removed separately during a hygiene appointment.
What Can Airflow Achieve?
Airflow can make stained teeth look noticeably cleaner by removing discolouration sitting on the surface of the enamel. It also leaves the teeth feeling particularly smooth and refreshed.
It does not bleach the teeth or change their natural shade. If you would like your teeth to become genuinely whiter rather than simply removing surface stains, professional teeth whitening may be more suitable.
