What is a Dental Saccity?
Dental suction devices draw in a large amount of air and saliva in a short period of time. They are commonly used during dental cleanings, oral surgeries, and cosmetic treatments to keep patients' teeth and mouths dry while the dentist completes the treatment. They maintain a constant vacuum pressure and can have different sized openings that affect the amount of air that can be sucked in at once. It is also used for infection prevention purposes. In fact, suction in dentistry is one of the most important tools used to remove liquids, blood and other substances from the patient's mouth. These tools are used in dental surgeries, implants, root canals, etc. due to their ability to remove liquids in the mouth better and cleaner.
Dental suction applications
☑️ Prevention of saliva and secretions
Many treatments require your mouth to be dry in order to create a strong bond. If there is too much saliva in your mouth, it can affect the strength of the grafting agent.
☑️ Protection of airways
If you are under sedation during treatment, a dental suction device can keep your airway unobstructed.
☑️ Prevent suffocation
Having foreign objects in your mouth can cause you to produce extra saliva and lead to the fear of choking while you are in the treatment chair. Suction helps to remove this excess saliva and feels more comfortable.
