First remove the accessory tips from the air duster, and the top of the snorkel from the nose mask
Carefully cut a hole in the bottom of the nose mask to install the exhale valve that relieves excess pressure for comfort, the raised circle is exactly the right size so that’s your cut line
Apply a ring of hot glue to the end of the air duster and push the Moldex filter against it, wait for the glue to dry then apply a bead of glue all around the joint, you can apply hot glue to the seams of the duster if desired but I didn’t notice any significant difference after
Apply two long strips of the Gorilla tape from the air duster body to the snorkel on the top and bottom, then wrap the joint several times to seal
Remove the plastic frame from a Zimi 95S and cover the Moldex P100
Charge the battery and it’s ready to use, speed 1 is plenty fast and will give 45-60 minutes run time
Practice nose breathing with your mouth open before you go to the dentist

Using a Dental PAPR or other nose mask option at the dentist doesn’t guarantee safety from infection, but it does lower your risk
