The thermometer mouthpiece device is for slidably and releasably engaging a thermometer for oral use. The mouthpiece device is for releasably holding a thermometer at a predetermined location so that the positioning of the device in the mouth of a user results in the proper extension of the thermometer bulb into the mouth cavity. The mouthpiece device is aerodynamic in construction to facilitate breathing by a user, and the device is resilient in composition to engage the teeth or gums of a user and to prevent breakage or fear of breakage of the thermometer. The aerodynamic mouthpiece device is comprised of a unitary, elongated and resilient body member having opposing tapered end portions. A ribbed center portion is circumferentially disposed about the device body intermediate the opposing tapered ends. A thermometer holding and securing means is provided to slidably engage a thermometer. And, a holding means comprised of an axial bore of an equilateral triangular cross section through the device body is provided to engage a plurality of thermometer configurations. Additionally, elongated air passage channels are provided to further facilitate user breathing, and unitary, moldable body members of a sterilizable construction are provided to permit repeated device use.
