Revolutionising your smile

Why EMS Airflow is a Game-Changer

Has going to the dentist for a cleaning ever felt a bit… well, scratchy? We get it. For many families, traditional dental cleanings can be a source of anxiety. But what if we told you there’s a new way to get a sparkling clean smile that’s super gentle, incredibly effective, and even fun for the kids?

As we've mentioned, here at Kowhai Dental, we believe in offering the best in dental care, and that includes our revolutionary EMS Airflow! This isn’t just a cleaning; it’s a completely different experience that’s transforming how families feel about dental hygiene.

What is EMS Airflow?

Think of EMS Airflow as a smart, gentle superhero for your teeth! Instead of traditional scraping tools, this amazing Swiss-made technology uses a comfortable stream of warm water and a special fine powder (like a gentle sprinkle!) to clean your teeth. It means we clean smarter, not harder, making sure every tooth is perfectly polished. It’s safe for everyone, from your little ones to grandparents!

 
 
 
 

Why EMS Airflow is your new go-to for dental cleanings

Painless and Gentle for Everyone

No more worrying about discomfort! The warm water and gentle powder mean no scraping, no vibrations, and often, no sensitivity. It’s perfect for sensitive teeth, braces, and makes kids’ visits a breeze.

Super Clean and Sparkly Smiles

This isn’t just gentle – it’s incredibly powerful at removing all that sticky plaque (biofilm) and even those stubborn stains from juice, coffee, or tea. You’ll leave with teeth that feel amazingly clean and look naturally brighter.

Reaches Every Tiny Spot

Our EMS Airflow gets into all those tricky nooks and crannies – around braces, under the gumline, and in between teeth – ensuring a truly comprehensive clean that traditional methods might miss.

Faster, Happier Appointments

Because it’s so efficient, your cleaning might even be quicker. Less time in the chair means more time for family fun.

Maximising your clean: Tips for maintaining results after an EMS Airflow cleaning

Brush smart, not hard (twice a day!)

Remind everyone in the family to brush for two minutes, twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Think of it as a gentle massage for your gums and teeth, not a scrub.

Electric toothbrushes can be great allies for an even more thorough, yet gentle, clean at home.


Don’t forget to floss or use interdental brushes

Those tiny spaces between teeth are where plaque loves to hide. Flossing or using those small interdental brushes once a day helps clear out food particles and lingering biofilm that your toothbrush might miss. Make it a family habit after dinner.


Rinse and refresh (maybe with mouthwash!)

A good rinse with water after meals can help dislodge food. Your dentist might also recommend an antimicrobial mouthwash to give an extra boost to fighting off sneaky bacteria.


Mind what you eat and drink

We all love treats, but sugary snacks and drinks can encourage plaque buildup. Enjoy them in moderation and try to rinse with water afterward.

Foods like crunchy fruits and veggies (think apples and carrots) can naturally help clean teeth.


Schedule regular check-ups

This is the most important tip! Regular visits to Kowhai Dental allow us to keep an eye on your’s oral health and give you another fantastic EMS Airflow cleaning. We’ll spot any little issues before they become big ones.

By following these simple, family-friendly tips, you’ll ensure that the incredible comfort and cleanliness of your EMS Airflow treatment lasts, keeping everyone’s smiles bright and healthy.

EMS Airflow FAQ

  • Yes! This is one of the biggest reasons families love it. EMS Airflow uses a gentle stream of warm water and fine powder, not the traditional scraping tools. Patients, especially those with sensitive teeth or dental anxiety, often describe it as feeling like a gentle spa treatment for their teeth – no discomfort, just clean!

  • Traditional cleanings often involve manual scraping to remove plaque and tartar. EMS Airflow uses air, water, and powder to precisely and gently remove biofilm (plaque) and stains. It’s more thorough in hard-to-reach areas and significantly more comfortable. It's a modern, advanced approach to professional oral hygiene.

  • While EMS Airflow isn’t a teeth whitening treatment, it's incredibly effective at removing surface stains caused by everyday foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, and juice). So, your teeth will appear naturally brighter and shinier by removing these discolorations!

  • Absolutely! One of the fantastic benefits of EMS Airflow is its gentleness and precision. It’s perfectly safe and highly effective for cleaning around orthodontic braces, dental implants, crowns, veneers, and bridges without causing any damage. It’s great for getting into all those little areas.

  • Just like traditional cleanings, we usually recommend regular check-ups and EMS Airflow cleanings every six months, or as advised by our dentist based on your family’s specific oral health needs.
