Advanced Dental Hygiene – Rowley, MA
A Smarter, Gentler Cleaning
Traditional hygiene appointments rely on hand scaling and prophy paste to remove buildup and surface staining. While effective for calculus removal, prophy paste is abrasive to enamel and gum tissue, and the process can be uncomfortable — especially for sensitive patients.
We now offer air polishing with glycine powder as part of your hygiene visit. Glycine is a gentle amino acid powder that precisely targets and removes biofilm — the bacterial film on your teeth that drives cavities and gum disease — from tooth surfaces, between teeth, and below the gumline. Unlike traditional prophy paste, it cleans without abrading enamel or irritating soft tissue.
Combined with our piezo scaler for any calculus removal needed, this approach gives you a more thorough, more comfortable cleaning in less time.
What to expect:
- Less sensitivity during and after your appointment
- Cleaner feeling between teeth and at the gumline
- A treatment focused on the bacteria that matter most
Ask us at your next visit if air polishing is right for you.
