AirFlow Treatment in Stockholm – Gentle, Modern Dental Cleaning at Gloss & Floss
Looking for a cleaner, brighter smile with minimal sensitivity? At Gloss & Floss in Södermalm, we provide AirFlow treatment in Stockholm—a state-of-the-art cleaning method that combines warm water, air, and a fine, low-abrasive powder to remove stains, biofilm (plaque), early tartar, and bacteria, even in the hardest-to-reach areas.
Because comfort matters, our English-speaking team works in a relaxing, SPA-like environment so your visit feels as good as your results look.
What Is AirFlow Dental Cleaning?
AirFlow—often delivered within Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—uses a controlled jet of warm water, air, and a gentle powder (commonly erythritol) to dislodge dental biofilm and extrinsic stains quickly and comfortably.
Unlike traditional rubber-cup polishing, AirFlow reaches around braces and wires, beneath the gumline, and around implants and restorations with excellent precision.
- Comfortable for sensitive teeth thanks to warm water and low-abrasive powder.
- Thorough cleaning in areas that brushes and floss struggle to reach.
- Superior stain removal for coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco.
- Safe on enamel, gums, implants, and well-finished restorations when used within protocol.
Who Benefits from AirFlow Treatment in Stockholm?
- Anyone wanting a brighter, smoother tooth surface with minimal sensitivity.
- People who build up stains quickly (coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco).
- Patients with braces, clear aligners, retainers, or fixed bridges.
- Individuals with veneers, crowns, or dental implants need gentle care around restorations.
- Those focused on prevention and fresh breath, especially when combined with our preventive measures.
How the AirFlow Procedure Works
1) Personalised assessment
Your hygienist evaluates your teeth and gums, then explains whether AirFlow alone—or AirFlow combined with targeted scaling—is best for you.
2) Comfortable preparation
You’ll relax in our calming treatment room. Meanwhile, we disclose biofilm (when indicated) so both you and your clinician can see which areas need extra focus.
3) AirFlow cleaning (Guided Biofilm Therapy)
A fine jet of warm water, air, and powder gently removes plaque and stains, including around orthodontic appliances and implant components.
Because it is precise, the procedure feels efficient and typically takes less than 30 minutes.
4) Targeted finishing
If hardened calculus (tartar) remains, we use ultrasonic or hand instruments only where necessary. Finally, we polish as needed and share home-care tips so you maintain results between visits.

Results You Can Expect
- Instantly brighter, cleaner teeth thanks to effective stain removal.
- A smoother tooth surface that helps plaque re-accumulate more slowly—when paired with good home care.
- Fresher breath as biofilm levels drop. For ongoing support, see our page on bad breath (halitosis).
- Support for gum health; less inflammation when you combine AirFlow with tailored prevention.
To keep stains and biofilm under control between visits, review our preventive measures and consider periodic check-ups with our hygienist team.
AirFlow vs. Traditional “Scale & Polish”
AirFlow excels at removing biofilm and surface stains. Nevertheless, hardened tartar still requires professional scaling.
Therefore, the most effective protocol is often AirFlow first (for comfort and stain control) followed by targeted scaling only where calculus remains. This sequence is efficient, gentle, and highly thorough.
Aftercare & Maintenance
After AirFlow, avoid intensely colored foods and drinks for a few hours if you are stain-prone. In addition, brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth daily.
To protect your investment long-term, schedule routine visits—many patients choose 6–12-month intervals depending on their risk and lifestyle.
You can also combine AirFlow with professional teeth whitening for an even brighter shade.

AirFlow Treatment – Frequently Asked Questions
What is AirFlow dental cleaning, and how does it work?
AirFlow is part of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). A gentle jet of warm water, air, and a fine, low-abrasive powder removes dental biofilm and surface stains efficiently and comfortably—especially in hard-to-reach areas and around braces or implants.
Does AirFlow replace scaling (tartar removal)?
Not entirely. AirFlow removes biofilm and stains and may dislodge very early calculus; however, hardened tartar still needs professional scaling with ultrasonic or hand instruments. For details, see our tartar removal page.
Is AirFlow safe for sensitive teeth, implants, and braces?
Yes. Warm water improves comfort for sensitivity, while the low-abrasive powder is gentle on enamel, gums, and implant components. It is also precise around orthodontic brackets and wires. If you have implants, read more on our dental implants page.
Will AirFlow make my teeth whiter?
AirFlow removes extrinsic stains, so your teeth look brighter and cleaner. It does not change the natural enamel color. For a lighter shade beyond stain removal, consider professional teeth whitening. If you repeatedly notice staining, our page on tooth discoloration explains common causes and solutions.
How often should I book AirFlow cleaning?
Frequency is personalised. Many patients benefit every 6–12 months; however, your hygienist will tailor the interval to your gum health, stain build-up, orthodontics/implants, and lifestyle. Learn more about prevention on our preventive measures page.
Can AirFlow help with bad breath?
Absolutely. By disrupting biofilm and cleaning difficult areas, AirFlow reduces bacteria that contribute to malodor. For persistent concerns, read more on bad breath (halitosis).
What’s different about GBT compared with a traditional “scale and polish”?
GBT visualizes and removes biofilm first with AirFlow, then performs targeted scaling only where calculus remains. Many people find it faster and more comfortable with excellent stain removal and less overall instrumentation.
Is the AirFlow powder safe?
Yes. Modern low-abrasive powders like erythritol are designed for use on enamel and soft tissues and are safe around restorations and implants when used within protocol.
