About Saliva Ejectors
Saliva ejectors vaccum
cleaners for your (Patient's - Dental or Medical Patients) mouth are narrow
tubes that dentists and other oral health care professionals use to suction
saliva blood and debris from the mouth during a dental visit. A saliva
ejector may sit in the mouth during a dental procedure such as filling teeth
or the dentist may insert it into the mouth at intervals during the
procedure. By continuously ridding the mouth of excess saliva and other
liquids saliva ejectors keep the mouth clear for the dentist to do his or
her job. MEDICOM and Some other companies might offer saliva ejectors that
come with a tongue retractor to hold the tongue out of the dentist’s way
during procedures.In recent years saliva ejectors have inspired controversy.
Research findings caution that a backflow of liquid from the ejector into
the patient’s mouth can occur when the pressure in the mouth is less than
the pressure in the ejector. This pressure difference occurs when a patient
seals their lips around the saliva ejector. As well when an ejector is
placed above a patient’s mouth gravity pulls suctioned waste back into the
patient’s mouth. In spite of these findings there have been no reports to
date of negative health consequences resulting from saliva ejector use.
However the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention in Georgia urge dentists to ensure that the tube hangs below
the patient’s head during dental visits and to abolish the practice of
asking patients to close their lips around the applicator head—just in case.
Saliva ejector tips are always disposed of after use on a patient.
