Orajel Mouth Gel, Denture and Ulcer Relief, Fast Acting Oral Care Treatment, Benzocaine 10%, 5.3g

I’m currently dealing with toothache and have an awful fear of the dentist, so I brought the Orajel as a just in case I need it item!Well the past two days I have needed it while I try and get brave and try and get an elusive NHS dentist appointment. It works very quickly and you can feel it numbing your mouth. The main numbness lasts about 20 minutes but it keeps the pain right down for about 6 hours, at which you can then reapply it up to a maximum of 4 times a day (always read the leaflet).It comes in a little tube but a little really does go a long way it’s excellent value for money.

This stuff taste disgusting 😝, comes in such a small tube ,BUT it's really good stuff, numbs my ulcer for a while, oh one more thing it's not a fruity flavour at all ,but worth getting it,wish they done bigger tube

Helps ease the mouth pain

So I rarely write reviews, but I really wanted to give feedback on this item in the hope of helping someone in my situation.I currently am waiting for medication for a B12 and folate deficiency that came to light after a recent blood test. One of the more miserable side effects of this is chronic mouth ulcers, which I have now experienced twice in the space of about 6 weeks. The first time, I started with about 5 under the tongue, which then spread to my lips over a few days, leaving me with a total of 10 of the blasted buggers. It took me a full 10 days to recover from that. I used Oralmedic to get me through the final few days as I was so miserable with not being to eat or talk properly. This medicine was absolutely brilliant but an eye-watering £15 treatment for only two doses, which I was definitely not willing to pay again so soon after the first episode.I decided I needed a middleman that may not be as effective but would help me to cope. Happily, I came across this product which was a fraction of the price.This episode of ulcers was not as bad in the sense that I had about 6-7 in total, but only one of them under the tongue was a real nuisance. So I gave this medication a go.It took me a couple of goes to get the medication to work effectively. Apply the gel over the top of your index finger, and then apply on the sore. I kept my mouth open for a bit to dry it out. It stings a little but nothing like Oralmedic. Your mouth needs to feel tingly and numb (like when you go to the dentist), then it has been applied properly. I personally felt relief for a couple of hours, not fully, but enough to talk and eat a little more comfortably. I would couple this treatment with Ibuprofen etc and salt rinses, and avoid SLS toothpaste if you can.I'm over the worst of this episode now, so hopefully I won't need to buy this gel again after getting my meds. In conclusion, definitely a better option than Bonjela, but not as good as Oralmedic.

Best thing on the market.Gives you a good few hours of numbness,always reach for this with mouth ulcers,gives relief from toothache too.

Great and works really quickly

Tastes absolutely horrendous. Had to wash my mouth out BUT even then it completely numbed my tongue and lips so if you are in pain it would be worth it. Just be prepared for the taste and use a very small amount.

IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE PACKET
