For many years, a traditional scale and polish has been the standard dental hygiene treatment for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. While still effective, modern dentistry now offers a more advanced and comfortable alternative: Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT).
At Dental House Pinner, our dental hygienists Harry and Minnie use Guided Biofilm Therapy to provide a more comfortable and precise way of removing plaque and biofilm, helping patients improve gum health and maintain a fresher, cleaner mouth.

What Is Biofilm?
Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that builds up on teeth, gums, and other oral surfaces. If not removed regularly by a dental hygienist, it can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, bad breath, and staining, even in patients who brush well.
Guided Biofilm Therapy vs Scale and Polish
Unlike traditional scale and polish treatments, Guided Biofilm Therapy uses a disclosing solution to identify biofilm before removing it with Airflow® technology.
This allows your dental hygienist in Pinner to deliver a more targeted, gentle, and effective clean that focuses on prevention rather than just removal of tartar.
Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy
Patients choosing Guided Biofilm Therapy often experience:
- A more comfortable hygiene appointment
- Reduced sensitivity compared to traditional scaling
- More effective removal of plaque and staining
- Improved gum health and prevention of gum disease
- A fresher, cleaner feeling mouth
GBT is also highly effective in reaching areas that traditional cleaning methods can miss.
Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy
Regular dental hygiene appointments are essential for preventing gum disease and tooth decay. Guided Biofilm Therapy enhances this by focusing on early detection and removal of harmful biofilm.
Our dental hygienists Harry and Minnie use GBT to support long-term oral health through a modern, preventative approach to dental care.
