Abrasive teeth cleaning method vs AIRFLOW method

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

To put it simply, GBT is THE BEST PROFESSIONAL TOOTH CLEANING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD! GBT is a revolutionary dental hygiene system that replaces old-fashioned teeth cleaning methods that use painful hand instruments, spinning rubber cups, and abrasive polishing pastes. While older techniques scratch away teeth & restorations while failing to remove all biofilm, GBT is a true wellness SPA experience for the mouth that eliminates pain & fear and provides unparalleled comfort while removing up to 100% of biofilm without damage to teeth.

What Is Biofilm?

You’re probably familiar with that filmy feeling of unbrushed teeth, that’s biofilm. It’s a sticky film that coats teeth and hardens over time to tartar or dental calculus when it isn’t removed.

Biofilm contains harmful bacterial micro-organisms that multiply in colonies and can cause local and systemic disease. Some of the most common include tooth decay, bad breath, gingivitis (bleeding gums), periodontal disease (gum infections and receding gums & bone,) tooth loss, and implant loss.

In addition to local disease, modern studies show that biofilm triggers systemic diseases and increases the risk of Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, premature birth, respiratory disorders, diabetes, and more.

Plaque Removal:

Tartar (also referred to as calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious periodontal problems. Unfortunately, even with a proper home brushing and flossing routine, it can be impossible to remove all debris, bacteria, and deposits from gum pockets. Tartar can only be removed through professional dental treatments. The experienced eye of a dentist or hygienist using specialized dental equipment is necessary to catch potentially damaging buildup.

A Healthier Smile:

Stained and yellowed teeth can dramatically decrease the aesthetics of a smile. Prophylaxis is an effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these unsightly stains. Removing Biofilm dramatically reduces the bacteria and inflammation that exist both locally in the mouth and systemically in the body.

Fresher Breath:

Because gum disease is caused by bacteria, one of the most noticeable side effects can be chronic bad breath. Bad breath (or halitosis) is generally indicative of advancing periodontal disease. A combination of rotting food particles (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene stemming from gum infection, results in bad breath. The routine removal of plaque, calculus, and bacteria at our facility can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection.

Prophylaxis can be performed at our office. We recommend that this gum infection treatment be performed twice annually as a preventative measure, but should be completed every 3–4 months for periodontitis sufferers. It should be noted that gum disease cannot be completely reversed, but prophylaxis is one of the tools Dr. Russ or Dr. Birnbach can use to effectively halt its progression.

The Importance of Preventative Dental Services

At Boulder Smiles, we firmly believe that prevention is the key to maintaining optimal oral health. Dental prophylaxis plays a vital role in preventive care and can help you avoid future dental issues. Teeth cleanings allow us to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, help prevent gum disease, and provide the opportunity for early detection of dental issues. By identifying issues such as cavities, tooth decay, gum recession, or oral abnormalities in their early stages, we can promptly address them before they worsen.

Prevention is not only for your oral health, but it can also result in significant cost savings over time. By investing in regular dental prophylaxis appointments, you can avoid more complex and expensive treatments that may become necessary if dental problems are left untreated. Preventive care contributes to maintaining your oral health, which can save you from the financial burden of extensive dental procedures in the future.

Don’t underestimate the power of regular dental cleanings in maintaining a healthy, confident smile. Schedule your dental prophylaxis appointment at Boulder Smiles today to experience the numerous benefits of this essential preventive treatment.
