DENTAL TRAP

摘要

A dental trap is provided for use in a mouth cavity of a patient during a dental procedure. The dental trap may separate the patient's mouth cavity from the patient's throat to prevent an extracted tooth and/or a dental tool, such as a screw, in the mouth cavity from falling into the throat. The dental trap may also allow the patient to breathe through the dental trap.
