In this episode of Before and Beyond, Kelly from Dental Designs Clinic demonstrates guided biofilm therapy, including airflow cleaning and plaque disclosing techniques, to help patients achieve healthier gums, reduce inflammation, and improve oral hygiene routines. ## About The Video Kelly, a dental hygienist at Dental Designs Clinic, introduces guided biofilm therapy (GBT), a modern approach to professional dental cleaning. She explains how airflow cleaning, combined with plaque disclosing solutions, helps highlight bacterial buildup and remove it gently. By observing brushing patterns, Kelly can guide patients to improve their home care routine, reduce gum inflammation, and prevent plaque-related issues. Through real patient cases, Kelly shows how airflow cleaning can effectively target difficult-to-reach areas, especially around crowded teeth. By visually highlighting plaque, patients become more aware of problem areas, increasing compliance and motivation to maintain oral hygiene. Guided biofilm therapy not only prevents gum disease but also creates a clean, healthy surface, preparing teeth for future treatments and enhancing overall oral health. Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) is a dental cleaning method that focuses on safely and effectively removing bacterial buildup. Airflow cleaning, a key component of GBT, uses a gentle jet of air, water, and fine powder to dislodge biofilm from teeth and gums without damaging enamel. By combining this with plaque disclosing solutions, clinicians can visually identify areas with heavy bacterial accumulation and tailor cleaning accordingly. This technique is particularly helpful for patients with crowded teeth or inconsistent brushing habits, as it highlights areas that are often missed during regular cleaning. Patients can then adjust their brushing and flossing techniques, improving home care routines and reducing gum inflammation.
