About The Video
In this episode of Before & Beyond, Lee Yean introduces airflow cleaning, a professional dental procedure that uses a gentle stream of air, water, and powder to clean teeth. She highlights that it is less sensitive, more comfortable, and particularly suited for patients who are anxious about pain or who have gum sensitivity. Airflow helps improve gum health while effectively removing plaque and surface stains
She also shares an example of a patient with swollen gums, heavy staining from coffee and tea, and tartar buildup caused by tooth misalignment. Lee Yean explains how airflow cleaning can manage such challenges while protecting crowns and restorations. She recommends it as a reliable and comfortable option for maintaining oral hygiene, especially for those seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional cleaning methods
Airflow cleaning is an advanced dental hygiene technique that combines compressed air, warm water, and fine powder to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from tooth surfaces. Unlike traditional scaling, it is less abrasive, making it ideal for patients with gum sensitivity, exposed roots, or dental restorations such as crowns and bridges. The fine powder gently polishes teeth, effectively lifting stains caused by tea, coffee, or smoking.
It is also highly effective in cleaning hard-to-reach areas and around orthodontic appliances, implants, and irregularly aligned teeth. By improving comfort and reducing sensitivity, airflow encourages patients to attend regular hygiene appointments without fear of discomfort. Over time, this helps prevent gum disease, maintain a brighter smile, and support overall oral health.
