An exemplary hands-free dental suction device includes an oral partition element, a suction interface portion, a first suction tube and an aerosol capture shroud. The suction interface portion is placeable in fluid communication with a suction source. The first suction tube may have a partition interface attached to the oral partition element, and may extend in fluid communication between the partition interface and the suction interface portion. The aerosol capture shroud may have an aerosol inlet end and an aerosol discharge end. The aerosol inlet end may be larger than the aerosol discharge end, which may thereby give the aerosol capture shroud a flared shape. The aerosol capture shroud may be affixed to an external surface of the first suction tube. The first suction tube may include an intermediate suction port by which the aerosol discharge end is in fluid communication with the first suction tube.
