ABSTRACT:
A disposable shield stretching from the top of a wearer's head to his neck and including a mouthpiece which can be sealed to the skin, with the seal being disposed proximate to and extending along the entire length of the outer edges of an individual's lips. The mouthpiece is adapted to allow both of the lips to protrude through an opening in the shield when a person is holding his mouth wide-open as is required of dental patients. The shield further includes at least one panel of an air permeable, absorbent material situated contiguous with a wearer's nostrils to allow ample ventilation while simultaneously preventing the passage and subsequent inhalation or deposition on the eyes, skin, or hair of sodium bicarbonate- and debris-laden mists which are routinely deflected from a patient's mouth during the course of dental procedures.
