AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis for Kids
Gentle Swiss Cleaning for Brighter, Healthier Smiles
At Affinity Dental Clinics, we understand that for children, a dental visit isn’t just about treatment—it’s about experience. A child’s perception of dentistry can be shaped for life by what happens in the dental chair. That’s why we proudly offer AIRFLOW Prophylaxis for Kids—a revolutionary, non-invasive cleaning method that turns the routine dental cleaning into a comfortable, positive encounter.
Using state-of-the-art Swiss EMS technology, AIRFLOW Prophylaxis provides a pain-free, stress-free cleaning that gently removes plaque, stains, and harmful biofilm. For children who are anxious, uncooperative, or just very young, AIRFLOW offers a safer, more pleasant alternative to traditional scraping and polishing tools.
What is AIRFLOW Prophylaxis for Kids?
AIRFLOW Prophylaxis is an advanced dental cleaning method that uses a warm jet of air, water, and soft powder particles to clean teeth and gums gently. Originally developed for adult patients with implants and gum sensitivity, AIRFLOW is especially effective—and appropriate—for children because of its gentle touch and non-threatening approach.
At its core, AIRFLOW is part of what’s called Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). This technology targets and removes bacterial biofilm, the invisible layer that causes cavities and gum disease, with precision and minimal discomfort. For kids, this means no scary scraping, no buzzing handpieces, and no trauma.
It’s like a gentle mist brushing away the bad stuff—quickly, quietly, and with no pain.
Why Choose AIRFLOW for Kids?
Why choose AIRFLOW® Oral Prophylaxis for kids?
Traditional cleanings with ultrasonic scalers and hand tools can be intimidating for children. The vibrations, scraping sounds, and cold metal tools often cause fear. AIRFLOW replaces all that with a soft, warm spray that’s quieter, faster, and gentler.
Many children have sensitive gums or are teething. The AIRFLOW system is safe and non-abrasive, so it won’t cause discomfort or trauma during the cleaning process.
AIRFLOW removes biofilm more thoroughly than traditional methods, even in hard-to-reach areas. This is especially helpful for kids with braces or erupting molars where plaque tends to hide.
Children have shorter attention spans and can get restless during long appointments. With AIRFLOW, cleanings are often finished in less time compared to conventional scaling.
When kids enjoy their dental visit, they’re more likely to look forward to the next one. AIRFLOW creates that positive association, leading to better compliance and long-term oral health.
The AIRFLOW Process: Step-by-Step for Children
Here’s what a typical AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis for Kids session looks like at Affinity Dental Clinics:
We take time to greet and talk to your child. Our team uses simple words and calming techniques to build trust and reduce anxiety.
A child-safe, colorful dye may be applied to show where plaque and biofilm are located on the teeth. Kids often find this part fun—it’s like revealing hidden “sugar bugs”!
Using the EMS AIRFLOW device, the dentist or hygienist sprays a gentle mix of air, water, and flavored erythritol powder to remove all biofilm and soft deposits. It feels like a warm mist and tastes pleasant—no loud noises or uncomfortable scraping involved.
We make sure everything’s clean and provide parents and kids with age-appropriate advice on brushing, diet, and oral habits.
Traditional vs AIRFLOW: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Traditional Prophylaxis | AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis for Kids |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning Method | Scraping and polishing tools | Air, water, and soft powder spray |
| Noise Level | Moderate to loud | Quiet and soothing |
| Comfort | May cause discomfort | Gentle and warm |
| Child Anxiety Level | Higher | Lower |
| Cleaning Time | Longer | Shorter |
| Effectiveness on Biofilm | Good | Excellent |
| Ideal for Sensitive Kids | No | Yes |
At Affinity Dental Clinics, we believe in giving you both options. Some children and parents prefer the traditional way. And that’s okay. But for those who are especially anxious or have had negative dental experiences in the past, AIRFLOW is a game-changer.
