An intraoral illumination device for illuminating the interior cavity of a patient's mouth during a medical procedure. The illumination device includes a bite piece adapted to be engaged by a patient's teeth for resting the patient's jaw during the medical procedure and fixing the device within the patient's mouth. A translucent illumination member having an interior wall and an exterior wall is connected to the bite piece and optically coupled to the light source that directs light between the walls. The illumination member is a flexible arcuate member that when inserted into the mouth wraps around a rear part of the interior cavity of the patient's mouth with the interior wall facing into the mouth. The exterior wall is reflective and reflects light through the interior wall into the interior cavity of the patient's mouth. The illumination member may also have a mounting means on the exterior wall for mounting a rubber dam thereon and may further include a moisture control pad adhesively mounted to the exterior wall.
