Frequently asked questions about Dentapops
Below are some common questions customers ask us about Dentapops
What type of suction device do I use with Dentapops?
We’ve found that a majority of practices use Dentapops with slow speed suction. Each Dentapop is pre-packaged with a 3.5″ Low-Vac Extension Tube for slow speed suction, making it entirely disposable for easy one-time use.
We do offer a High-Vacuum option with our EZ-Flex Extension Tube. This adaptor is a 42″ gray tube that easily attaches to the high speed suction system. The EZ-Flex Extension tube is not disposable and it cannot be placed in the auto-clave. The EZ-Flex Extension Tube can be cleaned with a sterile solution.
EZ-Flex Extension Tubes can be purchased separately in packs of 1, 3, and 6 units.
What are the quantities I can buy Dentapops in?
Dentapops are individually pre-packaged and sold in 20 packs, 50 packs and 100 packs. Be sure to visit our Products page for more information on quantities and how to purchase your pack of Dentapops today.
Are Dentapops available in different sizes?
Dentapops are a one-size-fits all solution for adults and children. By easily sliding the aspirator up and down, you can easily adjust Dentapops to fit each patients mouth. If the bite block is too large, it can be made smaller by using a Diamond Bur. Also, a cotton roll can be placed inside the bite block for extra cushioning.
