Q: What is biofilm, and why is it important to remove?
A: Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that forms on teeth and gums. If not removed, it can cause inflammation, gum disease, and decay — especially around implants or restorations.
Q: Does air polishing hurt?
A: Not at all. It’s a gentle, comfortable process using warm water and fine powder — ideal for those with sensitivity or anxiety during cleanings.
Q: Can this replace traditional scaling?
A: In many cases, yes. Especially during routine or periodontal maintenance visits, EMS Air Polishing can replace or minimize the need for scraping.
Q: Is it safe for implants?
A: Yes. This system is specifically designed to clean around dental implants without scratching or damaging their surfaces.
