Some staining and build-up simply won’t shift with brushing alone. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking can all leave their mark, while plaque and biofilm can collect in areas that are difficult to clean properly at home.
At Broad Street Dental Practice, we use Airflow tooth polishing as part of professional dental hygiene care to remove stubborn surface stains and biofilm quickly and gently.
The result is teeth that don’t just look cleaner, but feel noticeably cleaner too.
Airflow uses a controlled stream of warm water, air and fine powder to clean around the teeth and gumline.
Rather than polishing each tooth with traditional instruments alone, the fine spray can reach around the contours of your teeth and into areas that can otherwise be difficult to access.
It’s particularly effective at removing surface staining and the bacterial biofilm that builds up on teeth, leaving them smooth and thoroughly cleaned.

Back to general dentistry
If you regularly drink tea, coffee or red wine, or you smoke, you may notice darker staining gradually collecting on or between your teeth.
Airflow can remove many of these external stains without changing the natural colour of the tooth itself.
It’s worth making that distinction: Airflow isn’t teeth whitening. Instead, it removes the staining sitting on the surface, revealing the natural colour underneath.
If you’d like to make your teeth lighter beyond their natural shade, we can also talk to you about Boutique teeth whitening.
The visible difference is satisfying, but Airflow has an important role beyond stain removal.
The treatment helps remove biofilm, the layer of bacteria that continually develops around the teeth and gums. Managing this build-up is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums, particularly in areas your toothbrush may struggle to reach.
That’s why we use Airflow as part of a wider approach to dental hygiene, rather than simply treating it as a cosmetic polish.
Airflow is designed to make professional cleaning a comfortable experience. You’ll feel a fine jet of warm water and powder moving around your teeth as we work systematically around your mouth.
There’s no downtime afterwards, and you’ll be able to see and feel the difference as soon as your appointment is finished.
Airflow works best alongside good everyday dental care, not instead of it.
Regular hygiene appointments give us the opportunity to remove the build-up you can’t manage at home, keep an eye on your gum health and help you make your own cleaning as effective as possible.
And if stubborn staining has been hiding the natural colour of your teeth, Airflow can leave you with a noticeably fresher starting point.
