What is airflow?
Airflow is a device that is used for scaling in a new way and with a different structure, unlike traditional and common devices without ultrasonic waves and with the help of compressed air, sodium bicarbonate crystals, and jet flow with gentle water pressure and crystal spraying. Salts do stain removal and remove plaques.
Advantages of using Airflow:
more speed
