A saliva control device for controlling or isolating the production by a salivary gland. Controlling the production of saliva helps a dental practitioner or oral surgeon when working within the oral cavity. The saliva control device includes a body, an outer rim for forming a seal against the soft tissue surrounding a salivary gland, a vacuum chamber in the body, and an air evacuation passage. The air evacuation passage is used to selectively apply and then maintain a vacuum to the vacuum chamber. When under a reduced pressure, the vacuum chamber pulls the body of the saliva control device toward soft tissue surrounding a mouth of a salivary gland. |
