Palo Cedro and Cottonwood Dental Care are now offering Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) using Airflow technologies, which remove biofilm microflora and enhance oral prophylaxis outcomes, ultimately benefiting one’s overall health.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a systematic and predictable solution for managing dental biofilm (bacteria) in professional dental cleanings, utilizing state-of-the-art Airflow technologies. The treatment is administered in the least invasive manner, with the highest level of comfort, safety, and efficiency.
WHY IS GBT A "GAME CHANGER"?
Dental biofilm (bacteria) is the primary etiologic factor for caries, periodontal and peri-implant infections. Periodontitis can increase the risk of systemic diseases, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, arthritis, and diabetes.
Regular oral hygiene, combined with professional measures, helps keep biofilm under control – for improved oral and systemic health.
The Airflow GBT technology is a water, air, and erythritol plus powder delivery system that eliminates the traditional scale and polish you may be used to.
The erythritol plus powder is the first high-tech powder that removes biofilm and young calculus in a minimally invasive manner from all types of surfaces, including enamel, dentine, soft tissue, restorations, orthodontic appliances, and implant surfaces. The erythritol-based molecule provides a unique indication for use both above and below the gum line.
At your next professional cleaning, your dental hygienist will review with you how they can better assist you in achieving optimal oral health with our new Airflow GBT technology.
