Orajel Dental Gel - 5.3g
What is Orajel?
Orajel is a pain relief product designed to relieve toothache until you can get to a dentist. If you’re struggling with a terrible toothache, Orajel will help to keep the pain at bay until your dentist can treat the tooth. Ideal for those who struggle with toothache and need quick and easy pain relief.
Why do I have toothache?
Toothache can be caused by a wide number of different issues with your teeth and gums. Some of the most common causes of toothache are:
- A broken tooth.
- A loose filling.
- A cracked or damaged tooth.
- Tooth decay.
- A dental abscess.
- An infection in the tooth or gum.
- Problems with braces.
How does this product relieve my toothache?
Orajel contains a concentration of 10% w/w Benzocaine, which works as a local anaesthetic. This means it works wherever you apply it, numbing the area and easing pain caused by toothache. It’s perfect for those suffering from a broken tooth or a tooth which needs a filling, relieving pain at the source.
How to use Orajel.
Apply a small amount of Orajel, around the size of a green pea, and use a clean finger to apply it into the tooth cavity. Avoid drinking hot drinks while using this product. You can use Orajel up to four times every day.
