@carolandmocha @MariaMGillespie Mask blocs or other community groups can request a free mask for use, it provides air that’s 1,000x or better cleaner inside the mask than outside

Good day to be maskin' at the dentist waiting room! Have a Dental Mask thanks to @DentalMasks all ready to go for the appointment itself too.

Unfortunately I’ve gotten a new batch of Roedix blowers and they no longer seem suitable for dental mask or DIY PAPR usage, the new Low fan speed is significantly faster and the battery life is listed as only 35 minutes, I will be ordering new blower options to test ASAP

On Independence Day 4 years ago, Americans were getting worried about the Delta variant. Just about everyone in #PublicHealth leadership pushed #VaxAndRelax, which killed and disabled many through 8 additional waves. Do an advanced Twitter search. See who was right/wrong. x.com/search?q=(covi…

@caredscared_ @findmeabluebird @easlgrundle @ghhughes You can put the regular respirator on underneath a PAPR hood, then remove and turn off the PAPR

@DentalMasks @findmeabluebird @easlgrundle @ghhughes just out of curiosity; how would someone put their regular respirator mask back on/back on the right place in public? bc idk how one would do that w/o having to lift the one above or being unmasked for a bit in public

~ Readimask Application Practice and Tips: Normal Wear and Nose Hack ~ Need to practice Readimask application for dental, haircuts, or MRI, but don’t want to waste expensive masks? Make a mockup! 🧵 See alt text for disclaimers.

@caredscared_ @findmeabluebird @easlgrundle @ghhughes The method in the video is to use while sitting in the dentist chair, you can wear your regular mask in the waiting room, sorry you are dealing with harassment

@DentalMasks @findmeabluebird @easlgrundle @ghhughes thanks! i'm sorry, i doubt i'd wear that. i faced bad enough verbal and physical (spitting etc) harrassment for wearing a FFP2 so i wouldn't dare to go out in this kind of mask w a face shield. i appreciate the help though

@caredscared_ @findmeabluebird @easlgrundle @ghhughes Here’s a video demonstrating

@findmeabluebird @easlgrundle @ghhughes @DentalMasks i tried to look up what 'papr hack versaflo' is and im confused bc search results show whole suits with machines and ventilators attached and i dont quite understand all the scientific lingo around air pressure and lots of abbreviations

@sarahziegler @findmeabluebird @AdvancedTweaker @ghhughes The next challenge would be water protection since these filters are not designed for any contact with water, additionally I think you need a prescription to get them, and they have to be changed frequently 2/2

@sarahziegler @findmeabluebird @AdvancedTweaker @ghhughes Since the filter is designed for use with powered ventilation, I’m not sure how suitable it is for just breathing through, especially a configuration with a lot of dead space like a snorkel where the inhalation and exhalation path are the same 1/2

Coming soon to a mask bloc near you (and your home if you’re crafty): the dental mask! It’s designed by @DentalMasks, a Kanro-funded project to help protect ppl from infectious aerosols during dental work. 🧵 See alt text for info and disclaimer.

@caredscared_ @findmeabluebird I’m not familiar with plaster or acacia allergies, but the snorkel mask is silicone

@findmeabluebird is there a method for a nose mask that doesn't involve something sticking to the skin? i'm really allergic to acacia and plasters and such

@DeborahSills @LazarusLong13 @DiabloStormx @VitalikButerin Your local mask block can request one for free so you can borrow it

@LazarusLong13 @DiabloStormx @DentalMasks @VitalikButerin There's no way I have the energy or time to make this. I wish it was for sale somewhere. Or that dentist's offices had these.

Root canal and temporary crown, with the DentalPAPR. Dentist absolutely loved it! This one is a Bullard PAPR connected to a snorkel mask. The OG #DentalPAPR lasts 2 hours. This Bullard lasts 8 hours. My appointment took more than two hours. /1

Clarification, a Fit Factor of 100 would be the minimum pass for an N99, many are capable of better

The PortaCount doesn’t know what is being measured and reports everything as a Fit Factor, but Protection Factor or Exposure Reduction Factor are more accurate terms for a PAPR, the math is the same regardless, it says how many times cleaner the air is inside versus outside

A Fit Factor of 1,000 is 10x cleaner air than an N99 mask, to find the FF of your mask bloc delivery, please check the end flap of the shipping box

@Left_Indy_42 Any mask bloc can send me a shipping address and I’ll add it to the list to get a free one

@DentalMasks How might one get a box of these?

Multiple people have successfully worn a Dental Mask during bite wing X-rays and at least one person has successfully worn a Dental Mask during a Cone Beam CT dental scan

@findmeabluebird For individuals in Europe, here is the link to the correct blower amzn.eu/d/huMEr3A

@findmeabluebird Please do not substitute any other brand of blower or any other P100 filter unless you can PortaCount test the resulting build, also 3D printed parts are usually leaky, they need to be PortaCount tested if used because every individual print can vary
