Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device for and method of delivering a therapeutic fluid to the oral cavity of a user. The device includes a source of pressurized therapeutic fluid and a mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a posterior facing end, and a body having a first surface for enabling the user's lips to seal the oral cavity from an external environment when the mouthpiece is received in the oral cavity. The mouthpiece comprises an inlet passageway and an outlet passageway extending through the body and in fluid communication with the posterior facing end, wherein the inlet passageway delivers a therapeutic fluid under pressure to the oral cavity and the outlet passageway enables egress of the therapeutic fluid from the oral cavity. The device can also include a reservoir for receiving saliva generated by the user that may be recirculated along with the therapeutic fluid to the oral cavity.
