Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is Airflow?

Airflow is an oral care method that

sprays a mixture of water, air, and fine powder.

Like washing away dirt with a garden hose,

it gently removes stains and bacterial film (biofilm)

stuck to the tooth surface and between teeth.

At Magok Dental Clinic,

we often describe it as a scaler device that can adjust

the intensity according to the condition of the teeth,

reducing pain while increasing effectiveness.

2. How is it different from

conventional scaling?

Airflow

Method: powder spray

Pain: almost none

Main targets: stains, biofilm

Ultrasonic scaling

Method: removes tartar through vibration

Pain: may cause discomfort depending on the amount of tartar

Main targets: tartar, bacteria below the gums

The two methods are not in competition.

The suitable method differs depending on the oral condition,

so it is important to consult with a medical professional after an examination.

It is especially helpful for these people

▶ People wearing orthodontic appliances

The areas around brackets and wires

are difficult for a toothbrush to reach.

Airflow’s spray method is

good for removing bacterial film around appliances.

▶ People with implants

Care around implants requires a different approach

from that used for natural teeth.

Airflow can be used for maintenance

without damaging the implant surface,

so it is used in implant upkeep.

▶ People who are afraid of scaling

For those who found the vibration and sound

of conventional scaling uncomfortable,

Airflow can be an alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Does Airflow treatment hurt?

A. It can vary depending on individual oral conditions,

but many people feel it causes less discomfort

than conventional scaling.

However, if the gums are sensitive

or there is inflammation,

you may feel a sharp sensation during the procedure.

Q2. How often should Airflow be received?

A. In general, it is often recommended to receive it

once every 6 months together with a regular oral examination.

For those undergoing orthodontic treatment, those with implants,

or those who need gum disease management,

more frequent care may be helpful.

Oral care is much more important when done in advance

rather than treating problems after they arise.

Airflow can be one method of that preventive care.

We hope today’s information was a small help

to those considering oral care.
