Hello, this is Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic😊
Did you have coffee and smoke after your meal again today?
Did you know that stains caused by strongly pigmented foods and habits such as coffee, tobacco, and wine are not easily removed with regular scaling and brushing?
Today, we’ll take a look at airflow, which helps remove stains.

Traces left by habits: tooth staining
Typical foods and habits that cause staining
Drinking coffee and black tea frequently,
or smoking habitually after meals,
and other lifestyle habits like these
leave pigments on your teeth.
In particular, the tannins in coffee
and nicotine in cigarettes are the main causes
of tooth staining, as they stick to the tooth surface.
Tooth staining may seem like a purely cosmetic issue,
but bacteria also tend to adhere more easily to surfaces where pigments have stuck.
In other words, if it is not properly managed,
it can become the beginning of cavities and gum disease.
However, brushing has its limits,
so you should visit the dental clinic regularly
and check your oral health through
examinations and scaling.
The nicotine and pigments deposited in plaque
that build up on the inner surfaces and between teeth
are not easily removed even with regular scaling.


Removing tooth stains with airflow
Airflow uses fine powder, water,
and air sprayed at high pressure
to blow away stains and bacterial film,
so it is effective for removing stains from the tooth surface.
🏆Top 3 tooth stains
- Stains caused by smoking
- Stains from highly pigmented drinks
- Surface stains caused by old plaque


However, stain removal is not possible in every case.
If the tooth already has a decayed area,
or if an area that has already been treated for cavities has become stained,
or if the tooth itself is naturally darker in color,
stain removal can be difficult.
Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic Scaling
Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic operates a continuous care prevention center
and has a professional periodontal care team on site.
By combining a hand scaler that scrapes off hard tartar
and airflow that blows away stains,
we effectively remove tartar that has adhered to natural teeth,
restorations, and implants.
As a final step, we also provide tooth brushing,
helping correct poor daily oral care habits
and supporting maintenance.


We will always be your primary dental care provider for oral health,
with the goal of preventing dental disease
and protecting your natural teeth,
rather than simply providing temporary treatment.
