AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis
Swiss-Made Technology. Filipino Hospitality. A New Era in Dental Cleaning.
At Affinity Dental Clinics, we are committed to delivering high-quality dental care through innovation and patient-focused service. That is why we offer AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis in the Philippines—a breakthrough in dental cleaning that goes far beyond traditional oral prophylaxis.
This is not just another “cleaning.” Powered by Swiss-made EMS technology, AIRFLOW® sets a new standard in dental hygiene. It is more comfortable, more precise, and more effective than conventional methods. Whether you visit us for routine maintenance, gum disease treatment, or preparation for braces and dental implants, AIRFLOW® ensures a cleaner and healthier smile—with less discomfort and better results.
Let’s explore why this modern approach is now preferred by patients worldwide—and why thousands at Affinity Dental Clinics are already choosing AIRFLOW® for their regular cleanings.
What Is AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis?
AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis is an advanced, minimally invasive cleaning procedure. It uses a controlled stream of warm air, water, and ultra-fine powder to remove plaque, stains, and soft biofilm from the teeth and gums. It even works on soft tissues such as the tongue and cheeks.
Unlike traditional cleaning tools that scrape and vibrate against the teeth, AIRFLOW® uses a gentle mist to clear away bacteria and buildup. There are no sharp instruments, no loud noises, and very little discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a refreshing, soft spray—almost like a facial mist.
Behind this technology is the EMS AIRFLOW® system, developed in Switzerland. It follows Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a proven protocol that targets biofilm—the invisible layer of bacteria responsible for cavities, gingivitis, and periodontitis. By removing biofilm more effectively than manual scaling, AIRFLOW® helps prevent dental diseases while keeping the experience comfortable for patients.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT): The Science Behind the Clean
At the heart of AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). This evidence-based, step-by-step protocol is the most modern approach to professional dental cleaning and is rapidly becoming the global standard for hygiene procedures.
The GBT Process Includes:
1. Biofilm Disclosure
A special solution is applied to your teeth to stain the biofilm and show where plaque and bacteria have accumulated.
2. AIRFLOW® Max Cleaning
The AIRFLOW® Max handpiece delivers a warm, gentle jet of air, water, and erythritol powder to effectively remove stained biofilm and surface stains in a comfortable and efficient way.
3. AIRFLOW® Piezo Scaling (if needed)
For areas with harder, mineralized calculus that cannot be removed by AIRFLOW® alone, the Piezo ultrasonic handpiece is used. This ensures precise, minimally invasive scaling while protecting tooth structure and maximizing comfort.
4. AIRFLOW® Perioflow (if needed)
For patients with deep gum pockets or signs of periodontal disease, the Perioflow nozzle provides safe, non-invasive cleaning below the gumline.
5. Final Check and Minimal Polishing
A final check confirms that all biofilm and calculus have been removed. Because the process is so thorough, most patients do not even need polishing afterward.
