Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) is the main method used by our hygienist team at 38 Devonshire Street. It involves disclosing the biofilm on the teeth with a vegetable dye before removing it 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 (also using water warmed to body temperature) is used to remove deposits of scale from above and below the gums. The result is the best clean you have ever had – visibly and deeply different from the traditional scale and polish.
The bacteria found in biofilm, if allowed to remain on the teeth, create inflammation in the gums, causing them to bleed easily. When this happens, the bacteria can easily find their way deeper into the body through the inflamed gums and may cause more serious systemic 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 other linked conditions, provide compelling reasons to remove the biofilm from your mouth comprehensively and often.
