Saliva Ejector

Description

A saliva ejector is a low volume suction tip used during dental procedures to keep the mouth comfortably dry. It gently removes saliva, water spray, and light debris so the clinician can see clearly and work efficiently. The slim tube bends to the desired shape, sits passively in the oral vestibule, and connects to the standard low volume line on most dental units.

Key features

• Flexible, malleable tubing that holds its shape without kinking

• Smooth, rounded tip for patient comfort and soft tissue safety

• Vented design for easy finger control of suction, with consistent flow

• Clear medical grade, latex free materials for hygienic single use

• Universal low volume connector compatible with most saliva ejector valves

• Internal bore designed to resist clogging and reduce noise

Primary benefits

• Creates a dry field for faster procedures and cleaner results

• Improves visibility for precise instrumentation and isolation

• Enhances patient comfort by reducing pooling and gag triggers

• Supports efficient infection control with single use convenience

Common uses and applications

• Routine hygiene, scaling and polishing

• Sealants, fluoride, whitening, and orthodontic bonding

• Restorative procedures where gentle, continuous evacuation is preferred

• Pediatric and anxious patients who benefit from quiet, gentle suction

How it compares

• Saliva ejectors provide gentle, continuous evacuation and are ideal for moisture control. High volume evacuators remove larger volumes and aerosols during heavy cutting. Many practices use both, switching based on the task.

Selection tips

• Choose vented or non vented styles based on your preferred control.

• Bend to position, place in the vestibule, and replace after each patient to maintain best practice hygiene.
