Orajel Dental Gel for Rapid Toothpain Relief - Benzocaine 10% w/w, Fast-Acting Dental Pain Relief Formula, 5.3g

I had really bad toothache a good number of years back & I went to the chemists for some Bonjela to maybe help me with the paracetamol that I was taking when the receptionist at the chemists mentioned this stuff to me, she really praised it so I bought it & the couple of times that I’ve had a toothache since I immediately buy this! It works wonders & that’ll be down to the 10% Benzocaine in it it numbs the tooth well & if you can take something a little stronger than paracetamol like Co-Codamol or Ibuprofen this stuff will get you through until you get to your dentists appointment or until you can get an emergency dentists appointment. Yes both the Red & Blue Boxes of the product (pictured) house rather small tubes but you don’t need a lot of the gel, if you can precisely hit the hole in your tooth you’ve numbed the pain with a tiny blob say the size of a small apple pip if not smaller that’ll depend on the hole size & depth I guess & a top tip is to use a double ended cotton wool bud instead of your finger tip to apply the gel as you’ll get better application without it hitting & numbing your tongue or your lips. Both work great they really do, I personally use the Red Boxed Gel for teeth & although the ingredients are virtually identical in both boxes the Red Boxed Gel is somehow way more effective on teeth & the Blue Boxed Gel is extremely effective on gums without being too harsh like the Red Boxed Gel is so when it’s needed I use the Red Gel on holes in the tooth but it’ll work all the same with missing fillings, chipped teeth where the nerve is exposed, cracks on a tooth basically I use a small blob on one side of the cotton wool bud for the tooth & immediately afterwards I use the Blue Boxed Gel on the opposite end of the bud & I’ll carefully rub it around the gums at the base of the same tooth using a tiny tad more & it works wonders, the relief is excellent! Now both Coloured tubes of Gel alone would work for pain relief in said situations but that little mix with some careful oral relief as in paracetamol (again for me) should get you by until you can see a dentist & for what they do they’re pretty inexpensive I must say, they’re both great products.

Got this Orajel Gel for rapid toothache relief for my wisdom tooth because it did not grow all the way out so it was paining me a few days and I needed something fast and effective, this gel is quite effective and I recommend this product for temporary relief for toothache, it was definitely worth the money. Again the gel is for temporary pain relief so if the pain persists I would suggest going to a dentist.

Works really well highly recommend it

This is good stuff. Numbs and are you rub it on in your mouth so if you get it on the inside of your mouth or tongue everything goes numb. A bit like when you have injections at the dentist. Does give almost instant relief. However, the initial relief and numbness only lasts a short time. Maybe half an hour ish. Having said that I do still think that even when the numbness goes away there is still some residual pain relief that lasts for a while longer. Still a great product. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been using Orajel Dental Gel whenever I have a painful toothache, and it provides fast and effective relief. The gel is easy to apply directly to the affected area, and it starts to numb the pain within minutes. The 10% benzocaine formula is strong enough to dull intense tooth pain without feeling harsh or irritating on my gums. It comes in a small, convenient tube that’s easy to carry or keep at home for emergencies. The gel itself spreads smoothly and adheres well, so it doesn’t just slide off, and the relief lasts long enough to make a noticeable difference while I arrange a dental appointment. Overall, Orajel Dental Gel is a reliable and fast-acting solution for managing sudden tooth pain. I’d recommend it to anyone in need of quick relief before seeing a dentist.

Lifesaver. This stuff is amazing. I have a gum issue after having a tooth out and this numbs the area completely. I've found only 2 things that work. This and whiskey. I have to say this is a much better solution than carrying a bottle of whiskey around with me all day!

Tastes and smells like the dentist but works very well to numb the affected area and give relief almost instantly and lasts for a good while

I can’t recommend Orajel Dental Gel enough! I had sudden, intense tooth pain that made it hard to eat or sleep, and this gel worked within minutes. The benzocaine 10% formula numbed the area almost instantly, giving me fast, soothing relief. It’s super easy to apply—just a small amount goes a long way—and it stays in place without any mess. I also love that it provides relief that lasts long enough to get through the day or night comfortably. If you’re dealing with a toothache, sore gums, or mouth irritation, this is an absolute lifesaver. I’ll always keep a tube of Orajel on hand from now on!

Haven't used it. Arrived too late to be of any use. Will keep it though for next time one of us has tooth ache.
