Dental Hygiene — Guided Biofilm Therapy

A professional dental cleaning removes plaque, tartar and surface stains that brushing cannot, helping keep gums healthy and breath fresh. InDent uses Guided Biofilm Therapy with the EMS AirFlow system — a modern, comfortable method that disclosing-stains and then gently removes biofilm with a fine powder spray before scaling. It suits regular maintenance, patients in orthodontic treatment and those with implants, and pairs naturally with a whitening plan.

Regular professional cleaning is the foundation of preventive dentistry, removing the bacterial biofilm (plaque) and hardened deposits (tartar) that accumulate in places a toothbrush cannot reach. Left undisturbed, these deposits are associated with gum inflammation, bad breath and, over time, gum disease and decay. InDent carries out hygiene using Guided Biofilm Therapy with the EMS AirFlow Prophylaxis Master — a contemporary protocol in which the teeth are first painted with a harmless disclosing agent so the hygienist can see exactly where biofilm sits, then cleaned with a warm spray of water and a fine, low-abrasive powder that lifts plaque and stains gently from enamel, around implants and along the gum line. After the AirFlow stage, any remaining tartar is removed with ultrasonic scaling, and the teeth are checked and polished. The disclosing step doubles as a coaching tool: the hygienist can show you where plaque is collecting and tailor brushing and interdental advice to your mouth. The approach is associated with being more comfortable and less abrasive than traditional polishing, which makes it well suited to sensitive patients, people wearing braces or aligners, and those with implants or restorations. The clinic offers tailored recall, paediatric and orthodontic hygiene appointments, and sandblasting (stain removal) as a stand-alone option. A hygiene visit is also recommended before whitening so the result is even. How often you should return depends on your individual risk, which the hygienist will advise; for many adults a visit every six months is appropriate.
