Guided Biofilm Therapy – GBT means that the clinician is guided by the disclosed biofilm during professional tooth cleaning procedures. Dental biofilm is one of the main factors for caries, periodontal and peri-implant infections. Periodontitis can increase the risk of systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease, arthritis or diabetes. Before removal the biofilm is always disclosed with a dye solution.

This allows us to review our patients’ brushing techniques, protect our patient’s teeth and further motivate our patients to maintain better oral and systemic health. Safe and pain-free cleaning for children’s teeth and great for around fixed braces too. Teaching the best way to obtain and keep a healthy mouth starts when children are very young.
