Professional tooth cleaning is necessary to deliver a beautiful smile and to maintain healthy teeth. It removes harmful plaque (called biofilm) on teeth and gums. It is the only way to prevent gum disease (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries), both identified as common diseases by the WHO*.
Designed to treat biofilm and maintain healthy teeth over time. This protocol, called GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY, combines professional tooth cleaning at the dentist’s office with proper dental care practiced at home. There is no better way to keep harmful biofilm under control.
PAINFREE
- Professional tooth cleaning with GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY makes you feel good. A cleaning session is like a wellness spa experience. The treatment is painless and does not damage the teeth.
- GBT is today’s game changer and has nothing in common with the old dental hygiene methods from the ‘60s.
- With the EMS AIRFLOW® and PIEZON® PS No Pain devices, all you need is water, air and AIRFLOW® PLUS powder to fight bad oral biofilm with a winning smile.
Here you will find out how to protect your teeth from harmful biofilm for life. And how to share this unique feeling of clean teeth with the world around you. Keep smiling!
ORAL BIOFILM CAUSES DENTAL DISEASE, BUT NOT ONLY
- The bacteria in oral biofilm damage the teeth and the supporting structures such as the gums and bone that hold the teeth in place.
- Bacteria also find their way deeper into the body and may cause serious diseases over time.
- Studies have found that oral biofilm may lead to diabetes as well as cardiovascular and other common diseases.
- Biofilm calcifies to become ugly tartar.
- Oral biofilm must be removed on a regular basis, without pain, gently and effectively.
The best way? GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY.

AN EVIL BACTERIA
“Porphyromonas gingivalis - Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, diabetes: a bacteria guilty of common diseases”.
(Source: New Scientist and www.focus.de)
EVIL HAS A NAME: PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS
This bacteria thrives in biofilm. It spreads throughout the body via the gums and is responsible for heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, Parkinson’s, pancreatic cancer and many other often life-threatening diseases. By removing dental or oral biofilm, many of these diseases can be prevented. New studies and publications report on the link between biofilm, harmful bacteria and diseases which affect the whole body. GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY is your best friend!
BIOFILM IS BAD
Dental biofilm is insidious. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. You can’t feel it. But it is the main cause of tooth decay (caries), gum disease (periodontitis) and even tooth loss. GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY from EMS identifies biofilm and thoroughly removes it.
BIOFILM IS BARELY VISIBLE
The soft layer on your teeth has millions of different bacteria, good and bad ones. They thrive in your mouth and feed on the food you eat, especially sugar. Biofilm bacteria turn sugar into acids, which causes tooth decay. This mass of bacteria is oral biofilm (dental plaque).Biofilm grows every day and is barely visible to the naked eye. All of this makes your mouth the ideal entry point for bacteria into the body.
BIOFILM MUST BE REMOVED. 100%
Don’t let disease-causing bacteria take over your mouth.Take control and remove biofilm twice a day at home and two to three times a year through top professional tooth cleaning with GBT. GBT removes up to 100% of biofilm. Without GBT, biofilm routinely leads over time to dental disease. Not only is the health of your teeth and gums at risk but so is your overall health.

BIOFILM MUST BE VISIBLE
An important step of GBT is making biofilm visible on teeth and gums. This is called “disclosing”. Only when biofilm has been made visible, can it be removed completely. With the old methods, disclosing was rarely used because it would take hours to remove the biofilm.A dye used to color the plaque guides the practitioner in removing the biofilm and preserving the natural tissues. Disclosing delivers unequalled treatment quality as it clearly shows whether all biofilm has in fact been removed.
GBT is minimally invasive.
GBT FIGHTS BIOFILM
It is scientifically proven that the regular and complete removal of biofilm results in healthier teeth and gums.
BIOFILM TRIGGERS
- Caries
- Bad breath
- Tooth loss
- Implant loss
- Gingivitis = gum bleeding
- Periodontal disease = gum infections, receding gums
