My practice team sees GBT as a unique concept. The dental hygienists are very happy that our office is fully GBT-compliant and that we are indeed working according to the protocol. They appreciate being able to work with the best that current prophylaxis has to offer. Everyone working with the AIRFLOW^® Prophylaxis Master according to the GBT protocol shows their excitement.

Initial concerns about our patient’s reaction to plaque detection by disclosing were unnecessary. Our patients are motivated by plaque visibility and also fully understand that it is necessary to achieve the best possible results. Prophylaxis depends a lot on communication skills of the person performing the dental hygiene. Everything needs to be explained and described first. We receive very good feedback from our patients. They rate the treatment as pleasant and painless, the sensitivity during and after the treatment is absolutely minimal. Our patients find the treatments very pleasant – that is why they are happy to come regularly and make appointments for the required recalls.

Being part of an exclusive network of GBT-certified practices is a question of prestige for us. It is a proof to us that we are truly providing care the way it should be provided, and that we are enabling painless, gentle and comfortable treatments. Patients are happy to come back to us. I also appreciate the visibility on the map of GBT-certified practices, the marketing support and other additional benefits. Last but not least: we really like the certificate which we have put in a visible position in the office.

GBT is a unique concept in dental hygiene and an absolute revolution in prophylaxis. Clinicians should not hesitate to adopt the GBT protocol. It is clearly a step in the right direction that will be appreciated by both the dental hygienist and the patient. I definitely, definitely recommend it!
