ABSTRACT:
A diver's mouthpiece, having a conventional first portion, which includes a molded front flat member which is secured along the forward surface of the gums of the diver during use, and a teething member on each inner surface of the flat, molded member, so that a diver's teeth may bite into the teething member to help maintain the mouthpiece in place. There is further provided a pocket formed in each of the teething members, the pocket so shaped so as to accommodate a mint gel capsule in each of the pockets for the mouthpiece. There is further provided a pair of ducks extending between the pocket of the mouthpiece between the pocket containing the mint gel and the inner surface of the teething members, so as to define a flow track for the gel when the teeth of the diver bite into the teething members and rupture the outer casing of the mint gels in the teething members. Further, the pockets formed in each of the teething members to house the mint gel capsule are access to a slit in the upper surface of each of the teething members so that the mint gel may slide into the pockets yet are prevented from sliding out due to the fight slit formed in each of the upper surfaces of the teething members.
