A dental surgical suction apparatus combines the features and benefits of a surgical suction tip and a saliva ejector. The apparatus creates a more powerful suction force than provided by a saliva ejector by itself and can allow for better suctioning during oral surgery procedures and sedation, where keeping saliva and blood secretion from the throat can be critical, while also providing a device that is less traumatic to a patients mouth. The apparatus can include a rigid tubular handle portion configured to releasably attach to a receiving port configured to receive a surgical suction tip on one end, a flexible tube portion connected to another end of the rigid tubular handle portion, and a soft tip portion connected to another end of the flexible tube portion. The soft tip portion includes a plurality of openings configured to minimize complete obstruction during suctioning.
