A dental dam is a piece of thin stretching
latex. It comes in different sizes, shapes, and bright colors,
but is generally intended for use in dental procedures to
isolate a single tooth. Later, its' function evolved and it
came to be used to prevent the exchange of bodily fluids
during oral sex and thus the transmission of sexually
transmitted infections. The dental dam is stretched over
either the anal or vaginal area and held there by the person
(male or female) performing oral sex. If you want to see what
a dental dam looks and feels like, pick one up at the
Well-Woman office (they're free).
