I mixed this with distilled h2o until it was almost super- saturated, and now I keep it in a little plastic applicator Out of sight of medicine cabinet snoopers and most importantly kids. You do not want to come home finding your kids with this in their hands and in their mouths! So keep it safely out of sight or even locked up. Having said that, this is much better than anything sold OTC in the US, and when you have tooth pain And can’t see the dentist until some time in the not to close future, it can be detrimental to you and everyone around. I missed a week of work because the dentist that I saw did not “feel comfortable” writing a new patient a prescription for anything that actually worked! If I had known about the availability of this product, then I would have been able to function at a somewhat reasonable level. NOW!! The label clearly indicates that this is not intended for human consumption, but if you are in AGONY, then a very dilute mixture of this dropped on just where it hurts will almost stop or at least soothe what has been tormenting you since your tooth began to ache a few weeks prior. So, Benzocaine is definitely worth purchasing and keeping it safely away from kids as well as any pets. They will be happy to see you functioning until you can see a dentist.

Edit: I tried a different way of applying this and it worked a lot better. Changing my review from 1 star to 4 The key is dissolving it in a small amount of hot water and letting it sit overnight (or a good amount of time). I also tried mixing the dissolved solution with Tom's toddler gel toothpaste, and that gave the mixture a better consistency than just water. I still find the better product to be generic oral anesthetic liquid 20% benzocaine (generic anbesol) only because it is already dissolved and works faster and much easier with less preparation. Prior review: I was hoping for a stronger numbing for my chronically sore tongue and this is weak. I tried everything on the marketing and thought this would help but the best one was oral anesthetic liquid 20% (generic from Walgreens or any brand)
