\nKeeping the patient comfortable is a high priority.\u00a0 In response to Jeanny\u2019s question, we suction after giving anesthetic because the anesthetic has a bitter taste, and most patients prefer to rinse out with water and use the saliva ejector.\u00a0 Also, if the anesthetic sits in the back of your mouth for too long, it may start to slightly numb the back of your mouth and could give the patient a gagging sensation.<\/p>\n
\nWhen a dental hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth, you can get a lot of cleaning paste in your mouth.\u00a0 We use the suction to help clean all of that away.\u00a0 Also, when dentists are do amalgam fillings, pieces of the soft amalgam can sometimes fall away from the tooth surface.\u00a0 We use the suction to help whisk them away.<\/p>\n
\nDuring some procedures, such as white fillings, it is important that the tooth stay clean and dry.\u00a0 The suction helps keep the tooth dry by sucking away any saliva, blood, and water that may have accumulated around the tooth.\u00a0 If the cavity went below the gum-line, then it\u2019s pretty likely that the gums will bleed during the filling.<\/p>\n
\nAs I mentioned in a previous article about the dental drill, the drill that dentists use to do fillings sprays out a lot of water to keep the tooth cool and clean.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that water can quickly build up in the mouth and get on the dental mirror.\u00a0 In order to ensure that the dentist can see the tooth while working on it, it\u2019s necessary to use the high volume suction to suck away all of that debris.<\/p>\n
