Built by a dentist,
for the chair.
LinguaGuard didn't come from a boardroom. It came from a frustration every clinician knows — and a determination to fix it.
A problem with no clean solution.
LinguaGuard's founder, Dr. Keith Gressell, completed his dental degree at Temple University School of Dentistry in 2005. He went on to serve roughly seven years with the US Army Dental Corps while stationed in Germany.
In 2012, after earning his European credentials, he established private dental practices in Wiesbaden and Ramstein, focusing on serving military families and expatriates.
The idea took shape during his military service — a way to streamline dentistry and aid the hardworking dental assistant — and finally came to fruition in private practice. The problem was one every clinician knows: positioning and protecting the tongue with a mirror while chasing suction leaves you with no hands free.
From the field to the operatory.
