Orajel Extra Strength Dental Gel is an over-the-counter fast-acting toothache pain relief gel. The 5.3g tube contains the active ingredient Benzocaine 20% w/w.
It is used to give instant, temporary relief from severe toothache, sore gums, mouth ulcers, and gum irritation until you can see a dentist.
Orajel Extra Strength works directly on the spot where you feel pain:
Numbs the Area: Benzocaine is a powerful local numbing medicine (anesthetic).
Blocks Pain Signals: It stops pain signals from reaching your brain, providing fast, localized pain relief right where it hurts.
🚨 Dental Care Notice: Orajel is a quick temporary fix. It does not cure the cause of your toothache (such as tooth decay, cavities, or gum infection). Always visit a dentist as soon as possible.
🚨 Methemoglobinemia Risk: Benzocaine products should not be used in children under 2 years old due to the rare risk of methemoglobinemia (a serious blood condition that reduces oxygen in the blood).
Recommended Dosage for Adults and Children 12 Years & Older: Apply a small, pea-sized amount of gel directly to the affected tooth or gum area up to 4 times daily.
How to Apply:
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Cut open the tip of the tube.
Use a clean finger or a cotton swab to apply a small amount directly to the painful spot.
Do Not Swallow: Avoid swallowing the gel, and do not eat or drink for at least 15 minutes after application.
Orajel Dental Gel is generally safe for short-term use. Rare side effects may include:
Temporary numbness of the tongue or mouth.
Mild tingling or burning where applied.
Mild allergic skin rash or redness.
Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
Orajel works almost instantly. You should feel a numbing sensation and pain relief within a few seconds of applying it directly to the sore spot.
