- In cities or environments with a lot of air pollution
- Work environments where there is a lot of dust or debris in the air such as construction sites, warehouses, or factories

- When you are using cleaning products

What Is The Difference Between O2 Nose Filters And Nasal Strips?
Does O2 Provide Better Protection Than A Surgical Mask?
There is a widespread misconception that surgical masks protect the wearer from whatever is in the air around them, but they are primarily designed to protect others from the person wearing the mask. For example: if a doctor coughs while performing surgery, his mask primarily protects the patient from infection. An excerpt from 3M states:
Surgical masks also:
- Are not discreet to wear in public
- Do not provide a complete seal
- Are warm and uncomfortable
- Inhibit conversation as they muffle the voice of anyone wearing it
Should Dental Professionals And Patients Consider Wearing O2 Nose Filters?
It is likely that the use of ultrasonic scalers is the most significant source of airborne microbial contamination. Numerous airborne particles derived from blood, saliva, tooth debris, dental plaque, calculus, and restorative materials are produced by an ultrasonic scaler when used in combination with water spray. The level of aerosol contamination during this type of treatment is three times higher than during other dental treatments.

Is O2 A Better Option For Construction Workers Than Disposable Face Masks?
O2 Nose Filters offer substantially better protection than disposable masks, are comfortable, don’t inhibit conversation, and are practically invisible. Workers greatly prefer O2 versus traditional disposable masks, thus compliance dramatically improves.
Breathing protection only works if users wear it.
