Air polishing is a dental cleaning technique that uses a stream of pressurized air, water, and fine powder to remove plaque, biofilm, and surface stains from teeth.
It’s considered a gentler, more efficient alternative to traditional rubber cup polishing. The procedure is minimally abrasive and suitable for both natural teeth and restorations. Air polishing improves patient comfort, reduces treatment time, and enhances oral hygiene outcomes. It’s especially effective in managing periodontal conditions and preparing teeth for procedures like whitening or bonding.
