A bite-block for protecting the mouth of a patient receiving electroconvulsive therapy includes a U-shaped frame made from a unitary piece of a flexible material, such as expanded polyethylene foam, having a first side and an opposite second side. The U-shaped frame includes a body portion and two spaced-apart lobes extending therefrom. The two lobes define a gap therebetween. A force absorbing pad extends upwardly from the first side along at least a portion of each of the two lobes. A handle portion may be added so that the frame is Y-shaped.
