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.

I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this tiny tube of gel but even a small amount was enough to bring relief from the wisdom toothache I had. I’d say if you have a day or two to wait before you can visit a dentist this is an effective way to numb the pain. The only caution I would add is that whilst it’s easy to use, you need to follow the instructions carefully when applying it to your tooth.

Great for rubbing on the gum to relieve toothache. I found it similar to what my dentist rubs on my gum before he injects the anaesthetic before starting to drill my teeth. It really numbs the pain and it is in a little tube you can pop in your pocket or handbag to use on the go.

Yes, it numbs your mouth very well, is it good for toothache? I'd say it works but very short lived, and for the price there are better things available, but for the right application I'm sure it's great as it instantly numbs wherever you put it....inside a horribly painful tooth maybe only a 5/10

Worked great on my mouth ulcer, and sore tooth, I would 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.

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.
