How does the EMS Air Flow machine work?

A powerfully controlled jet of water, air and fine powder not only polishes all the surfaces of a tooth, but removes plaque, discolouration and soft deposits as well as reaching deep under the gum.

Water is heated for your comfort in the EMS machine, this is a fast non-invasive method of cleaning. Air polishing powders have different flavours such as spearmint to make the treatment experience even more pleasant.

It is great for patient comfort and gives you a deeper more efficient clean. Studies have shown that air polishing is over three times faster at removing stains and plaque than traditional polish with paste.

How will smoking affect my gums and teeth?

People who smoke are more likely to produce bacterial plaque, which leads to gum disease. The gums are affected because smoking kills the good bacteria.

How often should I visit my dentist?

It is important that you visit your dental team on a regular basis for a normal check-up and a full mouth examination so that any conditions can be spotted early. People who smoke are more likely to have stained teeth, and therefore may need appointments more often with the dental hygienist.
