Description
A disposable saliva ejector is a common dental device used during oral treatments to maintain a clean, dry, and comfortable working area. Its main functions include:
-
Removal of Saliva and Fluids
It continuously removes saliva, water, blood, and other fluids from the patient’s mouth, helping to prevent pooling during dental procedures. -
Improved Visibility for the Dentist
By keeping the oral cavity dry, it allows the dentist to clearly see the treatment area, improving accuracy and efficiency during procedures. -
Enhanced Patient Comfort
The saliva ejector reduces the need for patients to swallow frequently and helps prevent gagging or discomfort during treatment. -
Infection Control and Hygiene
Being disposable and single-use, it minimizes the risk of cross-contamination between patients and supports proper infection control protocols. -
Assistance During Various Procedures
It is commonly used during examinations, cleanings, fillings, polishing, and other routine dental procedures where low-volume suction is required. -
Hands-Free Operation
Once positioned, it can remain in place, allowing the dentist or dental assistant to work more efficiently without constant manual suction.
