You’ve Never Experienced Cleanings Like This Before….. Dr. Piero was the first dentist in Holland, Mi to use the Prophy-Jet cleaning system on patients. Prophy-Jet cleaning is an advanced technology that uses high pressure water, cleaner and air to blow the plaque off your teeth. It’s like using a power washer on your teeth with an abrasive component (instead of a pick and axe.) This means:
The process removes stains, dental plaque and debris while simultaneously polishing tooth surfaces. It is highly effective on patients with orthodontic appliances. Another advantage to this type of cleaning at Dr. Piero’s is the sound. That intimidating sound that traditional cleaning appliances make is gone, as is the vibrations. And patients don't experience that awful aftertaste from the sticky paste often associated with the rubber polishing wheel. This process is not just to clean your teeth. It is a method to disinfect your mouth. The air provides oxygen to the sites that harbor the anaerobic species of bacteria. These are sensitive to oxygen and thrive in the absence of oxygen. We try to shift the population of bacteria to a kinder species or aerobic. The cleaner is made of sodium bicarbonate. This is a neutralizing agent to the acid producing organisms. It’s like shocking a swimming pool to retard the growth of bacteria. If you’ve never had your teeth cleaned this way before or if you are basically fearful of going to the dentist, you will be enthusiastic with this method of cleaning. It’s more like a spa experience than a traditional apprehensive dental visit. |
