If you’ve ever been to your local dentist for a traditional scale and clean, you would know it comes with some level of discomfort. However, what if there’s a better, faster and more comfortable way to clean your teeth – without all that invasive scraping or dreaded dental anxiety. EMS Airflow is a relatively new dental hygiene system that is not only enhancing patient experience, it’s fast becoming a popular choice in modern dental practices Australia wide for treating and managing biofilm removal. Let’s take a look at how its revolutionising oral hygiene practices.
What is EMS Airflow Technology & Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Also known as the Airflow Prophylaxis Master, EMS Airflow is paving the way in preventive dental care. Founded by a Swiss company back in 1981, it has evolved into a highly sought after piece of medical equipment today, recognised for its cutting-edge design and performance features.
“The “National Preventive Health Strategy 2021–2030” was developed by the Australian Government to provide an overarching approach to prevention, including oral health, over the next decade.” The EMS Airflow supports this national strategy to enhance patient wellbeing over the long term.

What Makes EMS Airflow Different?
Traditional scale and clean methods involve the use of scalers and curettes to remove hardened tartar and plaque. The EMS Airflow technology on the other hand, works very differently.
It involves using a combination of warm water, air and fine crystallised powder to remove built up biofilm, surface stains and plaque in a gentler way. This makes it a more attractive alternative for patients who are looking for improved comfort and precision cleaning without the additional pain.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) works systematically with EMS Airflow to remove layers of biofilm build up, which is the leading cause of tooth decay, gum disease and general oral deterioration. One of the main tools used to determine the level of biofilm during a session, is through the use of a coloured dye. This is very harmless, of course. When this is applied to the teeth, the dentist can visibly see your problem areas, making it easier to treat those areas of concern.
The EMS process is also excellent for cleaning those ‘hard to reach’ spots and around dental implants. If you want to experience great results with minimal pain and discomfort, the EMS Airflow is a game changer in the dental field.
