Periodontal hygiene using Woodpecker technology
Greater comfort in gum care
At SF Clinic, gum health prevention and maintenance are supported by advanced technology, enabling a more precise, comfortable, and personalized approach.
The ABC Woodpecker Protocol allows for targeted treatment of bacterial biofilm, pigmentation, and calculus, helping to control bacterial plaque and maintain periodontal health.
The use of warm water makes the treatment more comfortable, especially for patients with tooth or gum sensitivity.
This technology is particularly useful during periodontal maintenance appointments, follow-up care for patients with implants, biofilm control, and the removal of stains, contributing to more thorough oral hygiene and a more pleasant experience.
How does the appointment work?
The appointment begins with a detailed assessment of periodontal health, examining the gums, the supporting tissues, and checking for signs of inflammation or bone loss.
Based on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan is developed, which may include deep cleaning procedures, infection control, and periodic follow-up.

- Comprehensive periodontal evaluation
- Measurement of periodontal pockets
