Orajel Dental Gel 5.3g

What is Orajel Dental Gel 5.3g?

Orajel Dental Gel is a local anaesthetic gel for the temporary relief of toothache from an open cavity, to use until you can get to a dentist.

How does it help?

Benzocaine numbs the nerve endings it touches, easing the pain of toothache within minutes. Cut the tip of the tube on the score mark and, with a clean finger or swab, put a pea-sized amount of gel into the tooth cavity. Use up to 4 times a day.

Key benefits

• Rapid toothache relief
• Benzocaine 10%
• Pea-sized dose
• Pocket-sized tube

Who should take care?

For adults and children aged 12 and over. For short-term use until you can see a dentist - do not use it continuously, and do not exceed the dose. Do not use if you are allergic to benzocaine, or if you or your family have a history of methaemoglobinaemia (a blood disorder). Avoid hot drinks while using it. Contains sorbic acid, which may cause local skin reactions. See a dentist if the toothache continues, and get urgent help for facial swelling, a high temperature or difficulty swallowing or breathing. Our pharmacist checks your answers before it is supplied.
