Mokgok Station Dental Clinic_“A 6-Step Journey to Fresher Teeth” [ 4. Air Flow Scaling Process ]

Hello,

This is Seoul Dia Dental Clinic near Magok Station, here to help keep our patients’ smiles feeling fresh.

Just as people start the day by showering to feel refreshed, teeth also need a “shower time” once in a while. But until now, when people talked about a tooth shower, it mostly meant scraping with metal instruments or using ultrasonic vibration.

“Too sensitive, it hurts, the sound is scary…”

Because of these three reasons, many people tend to postpone scaling.

But things have changed these days.

That’s thanks to the new concept called Air Flow scaling.

Air Flow uses a special powder and 32,000 micro-vibrations per second to gently wash away the bacterial film and stains on the tooth surface.

Think of it literally as a fine shower just for your teeth. So even people who said, “Scaling is scary,” can receive it comfortably with low irritation and low pain.

Not only natural teeth but also implants and prosthetic restorations can be safely managed, with sterilizing, disinfecting, and whitening effects as well. In short, it’s not just scaling, but premium-level tooth spa care.

In the previous post, we explained the [ differences between Air Flow and regular scaling ] that many people find confusing. If you missed it, reviewing it through the link below will make today’s topic much easier to understand.

So then, the Air Flow scaling process, which is called premium tooth spa care, how exactly does it work? From here on, Seoul Dia Dental Clinic will explain it step by step.

Painless and refreshing! Air Flow scaling process

Step 1. Oral condition check

Every procedure begins with a diagnosis.

The dentist carefully checks the patient’s teeth and gum condition, and if necessary, has them do a quick rinse and prepares for the procedure.

It’s necessary to first check which areas have more tartar and what the gum condition is like in order to provide a customized procedure.

Step 2. Biofilm staining

Have you heard of “biofilm”? Simply put, it is a bacterial film that is hard to see with the naked eye. This biofilm is the main cause of cavities and gum disease.

The key to Air Flow scaling is removing this invisible bacterial film first, so a staining solution is applied to the teeth to visually check where the biofilm is concentrated. When you can see it, it becomes much easier to manage.

Step 3. Air Flow

Now the main cleaning stage begins.

Water mixed with special powder and air is sprayed to gently remove the bacterial film and stains from the tooth surface.

There is almost no pain, and it feels like a cool stream of water, so patients often say, “It feels like showering my teeth.”

Step 4. Perio Flow

Bacterial film can also hide deeper inside the gum pockets (periodontal pockets). This area is difficult to clean with ordinary toothbrushing.

Using a special Perio Flow tip, we remove the biofilm hidden inside the gums as well. This step is especially important for implant patients.

Step 5. Piezon PS

If we removed the bacterial film in the previous steps, this time we need to selectively remove only the remaining hardened tartar.

Using a dedicated instrument called the Smart Piezon PS tip, we gently remove only the remaining tartar without putting strain on the gums.

In other words, the principle is: “Strong on tartar, gentle on the gums.”

Step 6. Final check

Finally, the dentist checks the oral condition once more.

They verify that both the biofilm and tartar have been properly removed, and if needed, they will do additional finishing work.

Through this process, the patient can finish with a much cleaner and fresher oral condition.
