Clean Teeth, Healthy Life
Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) is a method of removing dental biofilm, a bacterial community that forms a coating on the tooth or other surfaces by using state of the art technologies like AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® to apply low-abrasive powder with warm water and air. A cleaning session that is like wellness spa experience, that is gentle and precise treatment in the most comfortable way possible.
Dental biofilm is insidious. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. You can’t feel it. But it is the main cause of tooth decay (caries), gum disease (periodontitis) and even tooth loss. GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY from EMS identifies biofilm and thoroughly removes it.
The bacteria in oral biofilm damage the teeth and the supporting structures such as the gums and bone that hold the teeth in place. But there is more: bacteria also find their way deeper into the body and may cause serious diseases over time. Studies have found that oral biofilm may lead to diabetes as well as cardiovascular and other common diseases. In addition, biofilm calcifies to become ugly tartar. Oral biofilm must be removed - on a regular basis, without pain, gently and effectively. The best way? Guided Biofilm Therapy!
