Breathing problems...

[Maku]

Sorry for making another thread, but this is a different topic... The thing is since I was 4 yrs old I couldn't really breathe out of my nose. I got my tonsils and adnoids taken out then and I don't know if that has anything to do with my breathing or what, but anyways to get back on track... I can't breath through my nose very often and when I goto the dentist, guess what I can't breath through my nose. My concern is when I'm under the 'drill' getting a filling or anything I tend to gather up alot of spit in a couple seconds and the lady with that 'sucker' thing only does it like every 5 minutes to suck the spit out. I tend to be able no to be able to breath without swalling my spit and choking on my own spit and tooth filings. How can I breathe with my spit piling up so fast along with the tooth/filling shavings in my mouth since I can't breathe through my nose?

Sorry if I didn't explain it clear enough.

Ask for a supplemental saliva ejector to be used, it's a little bit of bendy plastic that attaches to the main suction and you can move it yourself to suck up the excess saliva.
