Airflow® Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) at Giddani Health Group
What Is Airflow® Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Airflow® Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a comprehensive hygiene treatment that combines warm water, compressed air, and a fine powder to gently remove biofilm — the sticky layer of bacteria that can form on your teeth and gums.
Unlike conventional cleaning methods, Airflow® doesn’t rely on scraping and can reach areas standard tools often miss, making it especially effective for full mouth hygiene and long-term oral health.

How Airflow® Works
Assessment & Examination
One of our dental hygienists or therapists examines your teeth and gums, identifying areas with biofilm and staining.
Biofilm Detection
A safe dye may be applied to highlight where bacterial biofilm is present — helping us tailor your treatment.
Airflow® Cleaning
An ergonomic handpiece uses a jet of warm water, air, and fine powder to dislodge biofilm, plaque and stains across every surface of your teeth — including hard-to-reach spaces and around restorations like crowns or implants.
Final Polishing & Rinse
After the Airflow® application, your teeth are polished and rinsed, leaving your mouth feeling clean, refreshed, and smooth.
Airflow® Guided Biofilm Therapy offers a range of benefits compared to traditional cleaning techniques:
Key Benefits of Airflow® Treatment
Gentle & Comfortable
The combination of air, water and fine powder removes plaque without direct scraping, reducing discomfort — ideal for patients with sensitive teeth.
Superior Cleaning Results
Airflow® reaches deeper below the gumline and between teeth, removing biofilm and plaque more thoroughly than conventional scale and polish.
Effective Stain Removal
Surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco and everyday foods are lifted during your session — helping restore a brighter, more natural smile
Safe for Restorations
Because Airflow® is non-abrasive and gentle, it’s suitable for cleaning around implants, veneers, crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances
Faster & Efficient
The Airflow® system speeds up hygiene appointments, giving you excellent results with less chair time.

Who Is It For?
Airflow® Guided Biofilm Therapy is suitable for most patients — whether you’re aiming to upgrade your routine dental hygiene, manage staining, or keep gum disease at bay.
It’s particularly great for:
-
People with sensitive teeth or gums
-
Anyone who drinks coffee, tea, red wine or smokes
-
Patients with restorations (crowns, bridges, implants)
