<span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><div><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:inherit;">This first step involves examination and diagnosis of your teeth and gums by our experienced hygienists, to determine the right therapy for treatment efficacy and your comfort.&nbsp;</span></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br/></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 2: Organic Dye is Applied</span><br/><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">An organic dye is applied to your teeth to make the biofilm (aka plaque) visible. Biofilm is almost invisible to the naked eye.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br/></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 3: Personalised Health Recommendations</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">Now that the biofilm is visible, we’ll show you any problem areas we notice and give you personalised recommendations for proper oral care at home.</span></p><p align="center"><br/></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 4: AIRFLOW MAX® Technology</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br/><br/></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">The AIRFLOW MAX® Technology works with erythritol powder to remove stains and biofilm from your teeth, tongue, cheeks, and surrounding soft tissues. It uses a gentle jet of air and warm water. Because AIRFLOW removes the biofilm, you won’t need the gritty, messy traditional polish at the end of your treatment.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br/></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 5: PERIOFLOW® Technology</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br/> PERIOFLOW® technology removes biofilm underneath the gums, gently and thoroughly. This step is only necessary in those patients with deep periodontal pockets.</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br/></span></p><p align="center" style="vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 6: PIEZON® PS Technology</span></p><p align="center" style="vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:15px;">PIEZON® PS technology is used to remove any remaining hard deposits. PIEZON senses where calculus is and shatters it, so that it is more targeted and gentle than traditional ultrasonic instrumentation.</span></p><p align="center" style="vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"><br/></span></p><p align="center" style="vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 7: Quality Control</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">A final check is carried out. Some minor hand scaling may be required if there is any calculus remaining after the above steps. Now that your teeth are clean, the dentist is better able to do your exam.</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br/></span></p><p align="center" style="vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 8: Book Your Next Cleaning</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">We’ll book you in for your next cleaning before you leave the clinic, so you don’t have to worry about remembering.</span></p></div></div></div></div>
