A regular visit to the dentist is vital for optimal teeth and gum health. At Braeside Dental Surgery in York Street Launceston patients are offered comprehensive treatment planning once any urgent problems have been stabilised.
An integral part of our contemporary preventative practice are regular sessions with our hygienist Trish Parry who often uses Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). GBT is a Swiss Innovation in oral hygiene which has allowed dental hygienists to transform the patient experience by exchanging the traditional cleaning methods for a revolutionary system that offers a lifetime of pain free oral healthcare for all ages.
GBT is carried out during regular cleanings and uses “Airflow” technology which is a combination of warm water, air and soft powder to remove all bacteria (biofilm) in the mouth that contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
The treatment is highly effective, minimally invasive and gentle, meaning that people with gum disease, braces, crowns, bridges, veneers and implants are eligible for treatment. These procedures are so gentle they can be used on natural teeth, restorations, orthodontic braces, implants, the tongue and gums.
GBT is a great option for those who want to remove teeth staining from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco consumption, and is recommended before receiving tooth whitening to achieve better results.
