I am aware that it is some kind of mouth gard to be worn during sexual acts-but how much of the mouth does it cover, and how effective is it?

A dental dam is basicaly a sheet of latex (often flavored) similar to that used in condoms for use during oral sex. It is intended to limit the exchange of bodily fluids between the "linguist" and the receiver. This is used in cunnilingus, oral (penal) copulation (BJs) and yes, even in analingus.
Quite a drag really.
EDIT: Oh boy, somebody copy /pasted from wikipedia or the like....how original.

A dental dam is basically a small sheet of latex which acts as a barrier between the vagina or anus and the mouth. Dental dams get their name because they are used during dental surgery such as root canals. Due to the possible infectious secretions from both the vagina and anus, the dental dam is becoming a more popular safer sex tool. With the introduction of different colors, shapes and sizes, manufacturers are adding some exciting changes to what once was sterile translucent-white latex.
You use a dental dam to go down on a woman or to rim. The dental dam is held in place with your hands, between one partners mouth and the others vagina/anus. The idea is to NOT FLIP IT OVER. If you like you can place some lubricant on either side.. flavored for the mouth, any kind of water based for the other side .. it creates a nice "wet" feeling if you do!
Sometimes it can be hard to get two hands and a face to the persons erogenous zones.. if this is true, use a garter belt! It's a little hard to describe, but, if you try it does work. The garter belt buckles are used to hold each corner of the dam in place, leaving your hands free to caress other things! Dental dams have a nasty powder on them to keep them from sticking.. many people are allergic to this so be sure to wash them before use with WATER ONLY. If you do not have a dental dam on hand , or simply don't like the bubble gum scent or thickness you can make one! Simply cut the tip off a rolled up dry condom, cut the side, and unroll.. viola! one very thin dental dam. Dental dams are an extremely effective means of preventing infection from vaginal or anal secretions. There is little data available on rates of infection after use of the dental dam. There are a few important concerns which may reduce the effectiveness of the barrier. Before you use the dam, lightly rinse it off with warm water. Dry with a towel. Then check to be sure the dam is free of holes or breakage. You can check the dam before you use it by holding it up to light or seeing if water is able to pass through it. Finally, ensure that only one side of the dam comes in contact with the genitals, and that the dam is used only once. Otherwise you are defeating the whole purpose of using the dam in the first place. Only use water based lubricants when using dental dams. Dental dams are not the most difficult piece of protection to use. Some people prefer that the person performing oral sex should hold the dam so that the receiver can just sit back and relax. Others think that the receiver should hold the dam so the other partner has his/her hands free for other stimulation. As an alternative, some dental dams are now made with an adhesive strip which will hold the dam in place. Remember to use some water based lubricant on the vagina or anus beforehand to increase the amount of stimulation received.

honey , as the word says-- its for dental ... its a square abt 3in. x 3in. piece of rubber dam(as it is call) and it is use together with a clamp and a frame , so how ithe earth cld you possibly use this thing for other agenda? its quite stiff , condom is readily available and thinner. rubber dam is made thicker coz it serve to isolate the dry area when it is being stretch held in place by a clamp and the frame to stretch and serves as a drain holder... so do you see yourself using this for your purpose?
