All our instruments are cleaned and sterilised in an autoclave and changed between patients.
All surfaces cleaned between appointments with chemical disinfectant.
Disinfection and humidifying of the air with an air mist which is Electrolysed water (hypochlorus acid).
Using an extra-oral aerosol high suction unit during the treatment to capture the aerosol from the mouth.
