Dental Cleaning with AIRFLOW®

If you’ve been avoiding dental cleanings because of past discomfort, you’re not alone. Many patients feel anxious about the scraping, poking, and cold sensitivity that often comes with traditional cleanings. At Tara Hills Dental in Pinole, CA, we’re changing that experience entirely—with a gentle, effective, and modern solution called AIRFLOW®.

It’s time to forget everything you thought you knew about teeth cleaning. AIRFLOW® uses the latest in dental hygiene technology to provide a thorough clean that feels more like a warm rinse than a procedure. If you’re in Pinole or the East Bay and want a better way to care for your teeth, this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Say Goodbye to Scraping. Say Hello to Comfort.

The AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master system reimagines how teeth are cleaned. Instead of scraping plaque off the enamel with metal instruments, this system uses a temperature-controlled stream of air, water, and a fine erythritol powder to gently remove biofilm and surface stains. It’s fast, non-abrasive, and doesn’t cause the kind of sensitivity or discomfort you may have experienced in the past.

This method is ideal for people with:

  • Tooth or gum sensitivity
  • Braces or orthodontic appliances
  • Dental implants, veneers, or crowns
  • A history of gum disease or deep pockets
  • Anxiety about traditional cleanings

At Tara Hills Dental, we’ve introduced AIRFLOW® to give our patients a more positive, personalized experience that makes staying healthy feel easy and comfortable.

What Makes AIRFLOW® Different?

AIRFLOW® isn’t just a cleaner that feels better. It’s more advanced in how it actually targets and removes biofilm—a thin layer of bacteria that builds up on the teeth and gums. Biofilm is the root cause of many oral health issues, including gingivitis, bad breath, and tooth decay. And while brushing and flossing help, biofilm can form in places your toothbrush can’t reach.

The AIRFLOW® system is part of what’s called Guided Biofilm Therapy—a new approach that uses a harmless dye to highlight where biofilm is hiding. That means our team can clean with precision, ensuring no area is missed and your enamel is protected in the process.

Benefits include:

  • No metal tools used in most cases
  • Warm water for added comfort
  • Faster appointments with better results
  • Less irritation for patients with periodontal concerns

It’s a smarter way to clean that’s also safer for long-term enamel and gum health.

The Ideal Dental Cleaning for Pinole Patients

Many of our patients from Pinole, Hercules, and surrounding East Bay communities have told us they didn’t know a dental cleaning could feel this good. Some even describe it as relaxing. Because AIRFLOW® is non-invasive and quiet, it also makes cleanings less intimidating for kids and adults alike.

Patients also love that AIRFLOW® can:

  • Lift stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco
  • Reach tight areas around braces and permanent retainers
  • Help manage gum disease by cleaning deep pockets gently
  • Provide a fresh, polished feeling in fewer steps

At Tara Hills Dental, we’re always looking for ways to improve your experience. AIRFLOW® isn’t just a new machine—it’s a reflection of our commitment to gentle, forward-thinking care.
