- Orajel Adult Dental Gel 5.3g
Orajel Adult Dental Gel provides rapid, temporary relief from toothache pain caused by cavities, broken teeth or exposed tooth nerves while you arrange to see a dentist.
Each application contains 10% w/w benzocaine, a local anaesthetic that works by temporarily numbing the affected area to help relieve pain at its source. The gel is applied directly into the tooth cavity or onto the painful area for targeted relief.
Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over, Orajel Adult Dental Gel can be used up to four times daily. It is intended for short-term use only and does not treat the underlying cause of toothache.
Always read the patient information leaflet before use and seek dental advice if symptoms persist or worsen.
