A Different Approach to Dental Hygiene
For decades, professional tooth cleaning has been associated with familiar sounds and sensations: polishing, buzzing, vibration and scraping.
Magic Foam takes a different approach.
Using innovative colourless foam technology, it helps reveal and break down plaque before being gently rinsed away. There’s no traditional mechanical polishing, no polishing paste and none of the vibration associated with conventional polishing instruments.
While the foam gets to work, you can simply sit back and relax.
It’s quiet, simple and designed with patient comfort in mind.
Who Is Magic Foam For?
Magic Foam isn’t only for people who dislike visiting the hygienist. There are many reasons why a gentler approach to plaque control can be helpful.
Children
The sounds, sensations and equipment involved in dental treatment can sometimes feel overwhelming for children. Magic Foam provides a quieter, gentler way to manage routine plaque, without traditional mechanical polishing.
People with additional needs or sensory sensitivities
For patients who find noise, vibration or unfamiliar sensations difficult to tolerate, simplifying the tooth-cleaning experience can make an important difference. Magic Foam offers an alternative approach with fewer of the sensations associated with conventional polishing.
Orthodontic patients
Braces create lots of additional surfaces around which plaque can collect. Magic Foam can help patients keep on top of plaque during orthodontic treatment, supporting their everyday brushing and regular professional care.
Sensitive or inflamed gums
When your gums are sore, sensitive or inflamed, the thought of having your teeth cleaned can be particularly unappealing. Magic Foam provides a gentler approach to routine plaque removal, with your clinician tailoring your appointment to the health of your teeth and gums.
Nervous patients
If previous hygiene appointments have left you dreading your next one, you’re not alone. Removing much of the familiar buzzing and vibration can make the experience feel very different.
People who already look after their teeth well
You don’t need to have a problem to choose Magic Foam. For people who maintain good oral hygiene and attend regularly, it offers a comfortable way to help keep on top of routine plaque.
If You’ve Been Avoiding the Hygienist, You’re Not Alone
Some people worry about sensitivity. Others dislike the sounds and sensations of treatment. And for some, one uncomfortable experience years ago has been enough to make every subsequent appointment something to dread.
You’ll never be judged at Shaftesbury Dental Clinic.
We’ll listen to your concerns, explain what is happening and give you the time and reassurance you need. Your care will always be tailored to you rather than expecting you to simply put up with an experience you find difficult.
Magic Foam gives us another way to make looking after your teeth feel easier.
During a Magic Foam Appointment?
Your Magic Foam experience is refreshingly simple.
Step One: Apply
Your clinician applies Magic Foam carefully to the surfaces of your teeth using a soft brush.
Step Two: Relax
The foam is left to activate for around eight to ten minutes. There’s nothing you need to do. Watch something, listen to music, read or simply enjoy a few quiet moments.
Step Three: Rinse
Your clinician gently rinses the foam away, taking the loosened plaque with it.
Your clinician will then assess whether your teeth need any additional professional cleaning.
What About Calculus or Tartar?
There is an important difference between plaque and calculus.
Magic Foam is designed to help manage plaque. It does not remove hardened calculus, also known as tartar.
If calculus has built up on your teeth, your clinician may therefore need to use additional professional cleaning techniques to remove it. They will assess your teeth and gums and talk you through anything else that is needed.
That’s also why regular care matters. Keeping on top of plaque at home and attending appropriate professional appointments can help you maintain healthier teeth and gums over time.
Magic Foam and Cosmetic Dentistry
If you’ve invested in your smile, naturally you want to look after it.
Patients with veneers, composite bonding and other cosmetic dental work can choose Magic Foam as part of their ongoing oral hygiene routine. Plaque can accumulate around teeth and restorations just as it can around natural teeth, making good daily oral hygiene and regular professional care important.
Your clinician can advise you on the best way to look after both your natural teeth and your cosmetic dental work.
Developed by Dr Wyman Chan
Magic Foam was developed by Dr Wyman Chan, an internationally recognised dental innovator known for his work in minimally invasive dentistry and the development of new approaches to dental care.
His aim with Magic Foam was simple: to rethink the experience of professional tooth cleaning and find a gentler way to tackle plaque.
Shaftesbury Dental Clinic is proud to bring that innovation to patients as London’s Magic Foam Tooth Cleaning Centre.
What makes Magic Foam different?
Magic Foam uses colourless foam technology to reveal and break down plaque before it is rinsed away. It provides an alternative to traditional mechanical polishing for routine plaque management.
Does Magic Foam remove tartar?
No. Magic Foam is designed for plaque, not hardened calculus or tartar. If calculus is present, your clinician will assess it and advise whether additional professional cleaning is required.
Does Magic Foam stain my teeth?
No. Magic Foam uses a colourless plaque indicator rather than the coloured staining associated with traditional plaque-disclosing products.
Is Magic Foam suitable for children?
Magic Foam can be particularly useful for children because it offers a quieter approach without traditional mechanical polishing. Your clinician will assess whether it is appropriate for your child.
What if my child has additional needs or sensory sensitivities?
For children and adults who find noise, vibration or some of the sensations of conventional dental treatment difficult, Magic Foam may provide a more comfortable alternative for routine plaque management. Please tell us about any additional needs when booking so we can make the appointment as comfortable as possible.
Can I have Magic Foam if I wear braces or aligners?
Magic Foam can be particularly helpful for plaque control during orthodontic treatment, when brackets, wires and other appliances can make teeth more difficult to keep clean.
What if I have sensitive or inflamed gums?
Magic Foam may offer a gentler approach to plaque removal when gums are sensitive or inflamed. Your clinician will assess the health of your gums and recommend the most appropriate care.
Can I have Magic Foam if I have veneers?
Many patients with veneers and other cosmetic dental work can incorporate Magic Foam into their ongoing oral hygiene care. Your clinician can advise whether it is appropriate for you.
How long does Magic Foam take to work?
Application takes around two minutes and the foam is then allowed to activate for approximately eight to ten minutes before being rinsed away. The overall length of your appointment will depend on your individual oral health and whether any additional cleaning is needed.
