Why do dentists use suction?
In the dental office, patients will often hear the slight hum of running equipment, and one key tool is the suction machine in the dentist's hands. The dental electric suction machine is one of the most commonly used devices in dental offices and hospitals to help dentists and dental assistants suction and remove saliva, blood, bacteria, residue, etc. from the mouth.
The oral cavity is an environment rich in microorganisms. During precise dental fillings, root canal treatments or tooth restorations, patients constantly secrete saliva, bleed and various debris may float around in their mouths. At this point, the Dental Suction Machine acts like a dedicated "cleaning guard", using its powerful suction to quickly remove these potential sources of infection, reducing the spread range of droplets and other bacteria in the air, and effectively lowering the risk of cross-infection between patients and between doctors and patients. Especially in today's era when awareness of infectious disease prevention and control is increasing day by day, suction machines provide a crucial guarantee for creating a safe medical treatment environment.
Why do dentists use suction? Next, we will elaborate on their characteristics：
1.Efficient clearance, broadening vision
During dental treatment, the water mist, saliva and other dental debris sprayed by high-speed handpieces can blur the operation area. Using a suction machine can ensure that the doctor has a clear field of vision and provide efficient and precise treatment.
2.Prevent aspiration and safeguard safety
During the treatment, the suction machine can remove the water flow and restorations in the mouth at any time, preventing debris from sliding into the throat and causing injury.
