Bite block

A bite block is a dental device used to help patients keep their mouth open during various dental or medical procedures. It is typically made of soft, yet durable, medical-grade material such as silicone or rubber. Bite blocks are designed to prevent the patient from accidentally biting down, which helps protect dental instruments, the teeth, and soft tissues, as well as reducing jaw fatigue during extended procedures.Bite blocks come in different sizes to accommodate adults and children, and may include grooves or channels for improved comfort and stability. They are commonly used during surgeries, dental treatments, endoscopies, and procedures requiring sedation or general anesthesia.
