Why do dentists spray air on teeth?
Why do dentists spray air on teeth? Essentially, it serves the purpose of drying the surface of your teeth. Think about how much saliva is inside your mouth at any given time. This bubbly moisture often blocks an undistorted view of your teeth and can even affect how different dental substances adhere.
Does airflow make teeth whiter?
Yes. Airflow can remove stains from up to 5mm deep into the periodontal pockets as well as the surface of the tooth. Using a combination of pressured water and bicarbonate it can remove stains left on your teeth by smoking, food, and drink.
