What is Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a Swiss innovation currently being offered by some
Namibian Hygienist. GBT has allowed dental hygienists to transform the patient
experience by exchanging traditional cleaning methods for a revolutionary system that
offers a lifetime of pain-free and fear-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.
GBT 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, wine
and tobacco consumption, and is advised before receiving tooth whitening to achieve
better results.
Why you need hygiene appointments
Our teeth are covered in a sticky and colourless film made up of bacteria, known as
biofilm. If this biofilm is not removed, it can build up around the area between the teeth
and the gums, resulting in gum disease (the first sign of which is bleeding gums). The
bacteria in biofilm can also break down enamel when it comes in contact with sugary
foods and drinks, ultimately causing tooth decay.
Today’s technology enables patients to have effective and pain-free professional dental
hygiene care
