Orajel Extra Strength Dental Gel - 5.3g

Orajel Extra Strength Dental Gel Teething

You can provide targeted relief for your baby's teething discomfort with this topical anaesthetic gel. The 5.3g tube contains benzocaine, a local anaesthetic that temporarily numbs the gums to reduce pain and irritation during the teething process.

This gel is specifically formulated for oral use and provides temporary relief from the discomfort associated with emerging teeth. You apply a small amount directly to the affected gum area using a clean finger or cotton swab.

How Benzocaine Provides Teething Relief

The active ingredient benzocaine works by blocking nerve signals in the treated area, creating a temporary numbing effect on your baby's gums. This local anaesthetic action helps reduce the pain and discomfort that occurs when new teeth push through the gum tissue.

You should expect the numbing effect to begin within minutes of application and typically lasts for a short period. The gel adheres to the gum surface, allowing the benzocaine to work directly where your baby needs relief most. For comprehensive oral care solutions, you can explore our dental products range.

Suitable for Babies and Toddlers

This dental gel teething solution is designed for use in babies and young children experiencing teething discomfort. You can use it when your child shows signs of teething pain, such as increased fussiness, drooling, or wanting to chew on objects.

The gel is appropriate for:

• Babies from 4 months old when first teeth typically emerge
• Toddlers experiencing discomfort from molars coming through
• Children who need temporary relief during active teething periods
• Situations where other comfort measures haven't provided sufficient relief

Extra Strength Formula Benefits

The extra strength formulation contains a higher concentration of benzocaine compared to regular strength versions, providing more effective numbing action for severe teething discomfort. You can rely on this stronger formula when your baby's teething pain is particularly intense.

This concentration is specifically designed to provide effective relief whilst remaining safe for oral use in children. The gel consistency ensures it stays in place on the gums rather than being immediately washed away by saliva.

Proper Storage and Application Guidelines

You should store this gel at room temperature and keep it out of reach of children when not in use. Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after application, and use only a small amount on the affected gum area.

The 5.3g tube provides multiple applications and should be used according to the package directions. You should not exceed the recommended frequency of use and should consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
