Or read our hygienist Jo’s blog – THE BENEFITS OF GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY (GBT) FOR DENTAL HEALTH
Biofilm is the bacterial build-up in the mouth; the bacteria work together to form a harmful cluster which releases toxins and stimulates the inflammatory response known as gingivitis. This, if left untreated, can progress to a more destructive condition known as periodontitis, which can result in tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss.
As hygienists, we always promote good oral hygiene habits at home. Your appointment will start by disclosing your mouth to stain the plaque; this is an excellent opportunity for both you and your hygienist to focus on any oral hygiene instruction and give a percentage plaque score. The Airflow will then be used with warm water to remove all the soft biofilm.
This will leave the hard calculus deposits, which can be more easily identified and removed with the ultra-sonic scaler (again with warm water for your comfort). The appointment will then finish with the application of a calcium and phosphate paste to the teeth.
