Although you brush and floss your teeth daily, you still need professional teeth cleanings to remove dental biofilm that accumulates and adheres to tooth surfaces in the mouth. Nashville Restorative Dentistry in Franklin, Tennessee offers Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) as a revolutionary teeth-cleaning system. No more scraping your teeth with a sharp dental instrument. GBT, offered by Dr. Ryan Jones, Dr. Caleb Estes, and the NRD team, is a gentle yet powerful way to more completely remove biofilm than any other cleaning system.

The Eight Steps of the GBT Protocol

Your at-home dental cleaning tools can fail you, often allowing biofilm—a sticky, colorless bacterial film—to build up in the mouth. The main concern is that biofilm is barely visible, making it difficult to see and remove. So, what’s the solution? We introduce Guided Biofilm Therapy—a revolutionary teeth-cleaning system for optimal oral health. GBT is a pain-free, non-abrasive alternative to regular dental cleanings, offering your mouth the VIP treatment it deserves.

GBT involves an eight-step process for thorough yet gentle removal of the troublesome dental biofilm. Here is a look at what GBT entails.

• Examination: The dentist will carefully examine the condition of your teeth and gums. Even though your smile may feel and look great on the surface, something could be brewing underneath. We comprehensively examine your teeth to leave no stone unturned
• Disclose: The dentist applies a colored disclosing solution to your teeth to show the hidden dental biofilm. Trust us; nothing beats seeing the troublesome biofilm yourself
• Motivate: Now that you can see the sneaky biofilm, we’ll teach you proper brushing and flossing techniques to keep this troublesome element at bay
• Airflow®: Your hygienist will use a handheld air polisher spray with warm water to polish away the biofilm. This process is efficient, comfortable, and pain-free
• Perioflow®: Dental calculus and harmful bacteria tend to hide in deep pockets between teeth and gums. The Perioflow technology allows us to eliminate biofilm beneath the gum line, gently
• Piezon®: This pain-free technology is an alternative to traditional scaling. Piezon gently removes dental calculus from your teeth without the hated scraping noise, providing optimal comfort
• Quality control: Just to be sure, we’ll recheck your mouth to ensure you have no traces of biofilm. Rest assured, any remaining biofilm will be promptly removed during the examination
• Recall: GBT isn’t a one-off procedure. We’ll schedule your next appointment based on your lifestyle, current oral condition, and other requirements

Biofilm is the root cause of tooth decay, bad breath, gum disease, and other problems in the mouth. Although at-home cleaning tools can remove biofilm, they aren’t foolproof. That’s why you need the services of a professional and the EMS Airflow system to more thoroughly remove the problematic dental biofilm you are missing.
