Taking oral temperature

Digital thermometers are usually made for taking oral, rectal, and axillary temperature. Follow these easy steps to take oral temperature. Take note, use a thermometer that has only been used for orally taken temperature.

  • Make sure the person has a clean mouth or preferably has brushed his or her teeth.
  • Place the tip of the thermometer under the tongue.
  • Tell the person to close his or her mouth around the thermometer.
  • Wait one minute or until the thermometer beeps before reading.

Note: Oral temperature usually matches the core body temperature compared to axillary and rectal temperature.
