Do You Have a Gummy Smile? Here's How to Fix It
Gummy smiles — where you show more gum tissue than you’d like — can be a source of embarrassment. If you have a gummy smile, you’re not stuck with it. Here’s how you can fix it.
Get a Whiter, Cleaner, Healthier Smile with EMS® Air Flow
You don’t have to choose between a bright smile and a healthy one. Dental cleanings with EMS® Air Flow can eliminate years of plaque and discoloration, and the technique is available here at Chelsea Dental Aesthetics in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.
Dr. David Blaustein and the team offer this innovative treatment so you can benefit from a thorough cleaning without damaging your tooth enamel or gums.
Here’s a closer look at what the EMS Air Flow can do for you.
What’s EMS Air Flow
EMS Air Flow is a treatment that uses a controlled stream of compressed erythritol PLUS powder to remove surface stains and biofilm from your teeth.
To get started, Dr. Blaustein applies a colored dye to your teeth. As the dye dries, it highlights plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. He then uses the hand-held device to target all the problem areas highlighted by the dye.
Unlike invasive procedures, EMS Air Flow doesn't require scraping. The water and cleaning powder scrub away plaque, tartar, and bacteria.
What EMS Air Flow can do for you
After your cleaning with EMS Air Flow, you can enjoy:
A whiter smile
EMS Air Flow effectively removes plaque (which can be yellowish) and stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, dark-colored sauces, and tobacco, restoring the natural brightness of your smile. With plaque and stains removed, your teeth appear much brighter than before.
A cleaner smile
It’s not just about looks. EMS Air Flow also helps clean your mouth. By reaching areas that traditional brushing and flossing may miss, EMS Air Flow provides a deep cleaning that helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
A healthier smile
Removing bacteria and plaque from your mouth improves your overall oral health. Bacteria contribute to halitosis, cavities (bacteria secrete acids that eat away at your enamel), and gum disease. Getting rid of problematic bacteria is the first step toward a healthier smile.
Dr. Blaustein, a fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, stresses that removing harmful bacteria doesn’t just benefit your mouth. It can affect your overall physical health.
Studies have linked harmful oral bacteria with an increased risk of dementia, heart disease, and inflammation.
Is EMS Air Flow right for you?
You might consider a dental cleaning with EMS Air Flow if:
- You want a more gentle treatment (compared to traditional scaling)
- You have plaque and tartar compromising the health and appearance of your smile
- You want a brighter smile
The process takes about 30 minutes and, thanks to flavors like mint and cherry, can be quite enjoyable.
