At Townsend Family Dental we are the only practice in Noosa to offer EMS AIRFLOW® the leading innovation in dental hygiene technology, used by industry leaders around the world.
Using advanced air polishing technology to deliver a highly effective yet gentle cleaning process. The system uses a stream of air, warm water, and fine powder to remove plaque, bacteria, and debris from the teeth and gums. This process helps reduce the buildup of harmful bacterial biofilm - the key contributor to gum disease.
What is bacterial biofilm? a thin, slimy layer invisible to the naked eye formed by bacteria that adheres to surfaces, creating a protective shield around themselves.
