A member asked:

Is it possible to suck air through a hole/cut on alveolar ridge?able to do so after seeing an ent doctor who put camera tube through nose to mouth.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's possible: I'm unable to comment on the ENT procedure. Air can travel from the nose to the mouth if there is a hole from the mouth, through the bone and into the sinus. This communication could take place if, for example, a tooth is extracted that has roots within the sinus.
