Bacteria also find their way deeper into the body through inflamed and bleeding gums and may cause more serious diseases over time. Studies have shown that oral biofilm may lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many other common diseases. There is a strong link between gum inflammation and Alzheimer’s disease. These along with a long list of others provide compelling reasons to remove the biofilm from your mouth comprehensively and often.
Guided biofilm therapy is the main method used by our hygienist team at 38 Devonshire Street. It involves disclosing the biofilm prior to removal using the airflow machine (a Swiss technology using water warmed to body temperature and erythritol) to gently lift and remove the otherwise invisible biofilm along with any stains from your teeth. Once GBT is complete, the finely tuned Piezon scaler is used to remove deposits of scale from above and below the gums (also using water warmed to body temperature). The end result is the best clean you have ever had – visibly and deeply different from the traditional scale and polish.
