Strange Word Use
"Kompositfüllungen und Keramikrestaurationen müssen möglichst gemieden oder entsprechend geschützt werden. Nur so werden Schäden an der Zahnhartsubstanz vermieden und der Patient nicht von dem salzig schmeckenden Natriumbikarbonat „eingenebelt“."
From a text about air brushing. I don't understand what is meant by "eingenebelt" here. I know that it generally means something like "to obscure" or "cover in mist", but that doesn't make sense with the "salzig schmeckend" part. To me the context suggests something more like "gagging". Or is sodium bicarbonate something that can get quite "misty"? TIA for helping me clear this up.

: Not really, it's probably just years of suffering from being enveloped in those cheap concoctions that many men tend to wear in public!!:-))

Related to sodium bicarbonate, they speak of "dust" or "mist" - but I have no idea how to translate this verb - covering the mouth / face of the patient with ...?
The lack of sense - salzig schmeckend / einnebeln - is obvious, also in the German original.
Ref.:

There you find:
"... For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. ...
