What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a gentle and thorough method of removing plaque/biofilm from the teeth. It utilizes a soft, slightly warmed spray to minimize the need for traditional hand scaling and ultrasonic instruments. This approach offers a more comfortable and effective cleaning experience, especially for patients who may feel anxious during traditional dental cleanings. The gentle spray can also safely clean dental implants and effectively remove stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco.
Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy is designed to improve oral health by effectively removing dental biofilm, the primary cause of cavities, periodontal disease, and peri-implant infections. By reducing biofilm, this method can help lower the risk of associated systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, arthritis, and diabetes. This gentle cleaning technique aims to provide effective oral health care without damaging natural teeth, crowns, fillings, or implants.
