A pacifier and teether assembly is disclosed. In one embodiment, the pacifier and teether assembly comprises a nipple, a shield and a teether manufactured as a one-piece assembly comprising a single molded piece of material. In one example embodiment, the nipple and teether are each contiguous to the shield, wherein the shield has a first face opposite a second face. The nipple extends from the first face of the shield. The teether extends from the second face of the shield. In one example embodiment, the pacifier and teething ring assembly is made of 100% medical grade silicone. Such 100% medical grade silicone is free of BPA, PVC, phthalates and latex. A method for using a pacifier and teether assembly is also disclosed.

Oral devices such as a pacifier, bottle cap, teething tools and toys, and methods for using the same are provided. An oral device includes a bulb portion configured to be disposed inside a mouth of a user and a wider neck portion coupled distally to the bulb portion and configured to be held by user's lips. The neck portion is configured such that, when it is sucked on by the user, the neck portion moves in the lateral direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the oral device from a first, unexpanded configuration to a second, expanded configuration such that a lateral contact area of the neck portion with the user's lips increases. The oral device can include one or more expansion accommodation features that facilitate expansion and retraction of the neck portion.

A teething scarf includes a fabric sheet having a length, a width, and a thickness, the width being greater than the thickness. The fabric sheet forms a continuous loop along the length. The teething scarf also includes a teething element coupled with the fabric sheet. The teething element includes a non-toxic material and being configured for use in easing pain associated with teething in infants.

An infant intraoral device can include an intraoral portion and a sensory material carried by the intraoral portion. The intraoral portion may be formed of a biocompatible and food-safe polymeric material, with the intraoral portion being shaped and configured to sooth an infant upon one of sucking and chewing on the intraoral portion. The secondary sensory material can have one or more of a flavor or a scent associated therewith.

This disclosure is generally directed to a parent-infant-interactive, sensory-stimulation toy and associated methods of use. Such a toy features an interchangeable elongated feather-like tail member used for gently and playfully stroking a baby's body, wherein the material use for the feather-like member can be made from various types of irresistibly touchable and non-toxic (and preferably hypoallergenic), baby-safe materials of various textures and different sensations. Such materials include, but are not limited to, silks and velvet that are specially configured to provide the desired touch sensory stimulation while eliminating a choking hazard. The toy features a soft and squeezable body member with other graspable appendages and sound-emanating internal components (bells, rattles, crinkle paper, etc.), and the toy as a whole is artistically designed to be visually stimulating to a child, often being fashioned after various animals and/or imaginary characters.

Computerized oral prescription administration with refillable medication dispensing devices and associated systems and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a method of dispensing a substance to an intended user is provided. The method comprises receiving an input from a biometric sensor; determining, based on the received input, whether an intended user's unique biometric attribute is detected by the biometric sensor; receiving an input from an environmental sensor; determining, based on the received input, whether a mouthpiece is positioned within a user's mouth; receiving an input from a capacitive sensor array of the mouthpiece; determining, based on the received input, whether an intended user's unique dentition is positioned within a recess of the mouthpiece; and dispensing a substance from a reservoir to a mouth of the intended user in response to determining that the intended user's unique biometric attribute is detected by the biometric sensor.
