What Is an Air Polisher?

Air polishing is a state-of-the-art dental cleaning method that uses a controlled stream of compressed air, warm water, and a fine powder - such as glycine or erythritol - to gently remove plaque, surface stains, and harmful bacteria biofilm from the teeth and along the gumline.

‍

Compared to traditional rubber cup polishing, air polishing is:

• Faster and more efficient
• Less abrasive on enamel
• More comfortable for sensitive patients

It is especially beneficial for patients with braces, Invisalign® aligners, dental implants, crowns, bridges, or cosmetic restorations.

Benefits of Air Polishing

Air polishing offers several advantages that make it a preferred option for modern dental cleanings:

• Highly Effective Stain Removal - Helps lift surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and tobacco.

• Gentle on Enamel - Uses fine powder particles that are safe for natural enamel, implants, veneers, crowns, and other dental work.
• Supports Gum Health - Effectively removes bacteria biofilm around the gumline, helping reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
• Fast and Comfortable Cleaning - Provides a smoother, more pleasant experience compared to traditional polishing methods.
• Ideal for Orthodontic Patients - Cleans efficiently around braces, Invisalign® attachments, and orthodontic appliances without causing damage.

‍

Who Is a Good Candidate for Air Polishing?

Air polishing is an excellent choice for patients who:

• Have sensitive teeth or gums
• Wear braces or Invisalign® aligners
• Have dental implants, crowns, or bridges
• Experience heavy plaque buildup or surface staining
• Want a thorough cleaning before teeth whitening or cosmetic dental treatments

At Forest Family Dentistry, we often incorporate air polishing into routine dental cleanings and periodontal maintenance visits to support long-term oral health and naturally brighter smiles.
