looking at different silicone options (for creating a baby bottle nipple). How do I find out what type of silicone is standard for intraoral use/safest?

This is a strictly regulated area. I suggest you look at the regulations of the FDA, the European Commission, or your local food authority, to see which materials and plasticizers, fillers, lubricants, etc., have been approved for in your country for such nipples.
