Oral Health Aid
This invention is a oral health aid device to be places the user's mouth and maneuvered to cover their lower gum area at the teeth root line similar to chewing tobacco. The heath aid has on it a fastener, which can hold in place lozenges, which can contain flavors, or beneficially prescribed drugs, or antiviral and antibacterial antiseptic medication to satisfy the user's needs. Beside the Oral Health Aid being a frontline protection from viral epidemics by administering targeted antiviral directly into the lymphatic system by way of the salivary gland located in the low jaw. It also is a useful Health Aid to confront the problem of the addiction-taking place by the now debunked electronic oil vaporing synthetic smoking devices. This health aid will help the young consumers who were extremely susceptible to anything related to oral fixation relief. Which in the case of very young people is a strong compulsion to use oral devices. This oral health aid will have in desired the ability to be reshaped into a finger ring. So it can be stored conveniently which the need for is exampled by the way baby pacifiers have a ring section attached.
INTRAORAL FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD
A system for intraoral fluid delivery comprises a rate-controlled and/or volume-controlled fluid supply device, a reservoir for holding one or more fluids to be delivered to a patient's oral cavity, a mouthpiece to be worn by a patient at least partially within the patient's oral cavity, and tubing to carry the one or more fluids from the fluid supply device to the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece comprises a fluid inlet adjacent and/or exterior to the patient's oral cavity when the mouthpiece is worn by the patient, a fluid outlet posterior to the fluid inlet, and a fluid channel therebetween.
Tooth-attachable patch capable of being removed by tooth brushing
The present invention relates to a tooth-attachable patch comprising: a drug layer for delivering drugs to a tooth; and a backing layer positioned on the opposite side of a tooth attachment surface of the drug layer, and including, both a water-soluble polymer and a water-insoluble polymer. The patch of the present invention can be easily removed by merely brushing the teeth without separately stripping off a backing layer.
LOADING AN AUTOMATED MEDICATION DISPENSER
Concepts presented herein relate to approaches for loading a medication dispenser. In one aspect, a medication schedule is obtained and compartments for medication to be positioned in the medication dispenser are identified. A particular medication is selected to be loaded and an indication is provided of the compartment that will hold the particular medication.
COMPUTERIZED ORAL PRESCRIPTION ADMINISTRATION WITH REFILLABLE MEDICATION DISPENSING DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Computerized oral prescription administration with refillable medication dispensing devices and associated systems and methods are provided.

Computerized oral prescription administration with refillable medication dispensing devices and associated systems and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a substance dispensing apparatus includes a housing sized and shaped for handheld use, the housing having at least one wall and a biometric sensor coupled to the at least one wall; a processor in communication with the biometric sensor, the processor configured to determine whether an intended user's unique biometric attribute is detected by the biometric sensor based on input received from the biometric sensor; and a pump in communication with the processor, the pump configured to dispense a substance from a reservoir to a mouth of the intended user in response to the processor determining that the intended user's unique biometric attribute is detected by the biometric sensor.
Taste substance-supplying article
A taste substance-supplying article is provided with: a taste substance-supplying body having a taste substance that is brought into contact with taste receptors to produce a sense of taste, and a taste-releasing part that retains the taste substance and gradually releases the taste substance; and a fixing part that fixes the taste substance-supplying body to an oral cavity so that the taste-releasing part can be brought into contact with a portion of an area being a part of the oral cavity and having taste receptors. The taste-releasing part is brought into contact with taste receptors, and supplies and causes the taste substance to come into contact with the taste receptors.
