“Discover Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT): The Innovative Dental Cleaning that Targets Plaque and Prevents Tartar Buildup!”

Scaling is an important dental care procedure to prevent tooth decay and gum disease from plaque that accumulates on the tooth surface. However, scaling is not the only treatment that can take care of oral health. Currently, Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) has been developed to help remove bacterial plaque or biofilm, which is the main cause of tartar, tooth decay and gum disease, making tooth cleaning more effective and increasing confidence in taking care of strong teeth for a long time.

What is Biofilm?

Biofilm is a microbial plaque that accumulates on the surface of the teeth, which is caused by the adhesion of saliva and microorganisms in the mouth. Over time, this microbial plaque will accumulate and become a more tightly adhered plaque, which can be observed when the tongue touches the teeth and the teeth do not feel slippery. If the teeth are not brushed properly or are not cleaned well enough, it can eventually lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a method of cleaning teeth that not only scrapes away tartar but also removes biofilm or microbial plaque, which is the main cause of tartar formation, tooth decay and gum disease. GBT helps to clean the tooth surface more gently and thoroughly, resulting in healthier teeth and mouth.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Procedure

1. Teeth Staining: Your dentist will apply a blue Plaque Disclosing Gel to the tooth surface to make plaque more visible.
        Dark blue stains are plaque that has been present for more than 48 hours.
        Purple or red stains are plaque that has formed within 48 hours.
2. Airflow Cleaning: Your dentist will use an Airflow machine to spray a fine mist of a water-based abrasive powder to clean plaque from your teeth without irritating them and thoroughly clean every crevice of your teeth.
3. Target Removal: Your dentist will remove tartar that has built up on your teeth using the AirFlow Master.
   Cleanliness Inspection: After your cleaning, your dentist will make sure that no plaque remains on your teeth.

What is Airflow Innovation?

Airflow is a tooth cleaning technology that sprays a fine mist containing cleaning powder as small as 14 microns without causing irritation or pain. It is safe and effective in removing deep stains in between teeth and on tooth surfaces gently.

Duration of GBT

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) takes approximately 30-45 minutes to perform, depending on the individual’s oral plaque and tartar buildup.

Self-care after GBT

After GBT, your teeth will be clean and your tooth surface will be more likely to absorb stains. Therefore, you should avoid eating or drinking food or drinks with color, such as coffee, tea, or dark-colored food for at least 3 hours to prevent stains from sticking to your teeth.
