About the product
Orajel Mouth Gel 5.3g is a fast-acting topical pain relief gel used to soothe toothache and other minor mouth or gum pain. It contains benzocaine, a local anaesthetic that works by numbing the affected area, blocking pain signals from reaching the brain. This provides quick, targeted relief while waiting to see a dentist or until other treatment is available. The gel is applied directly to the painful area using a clean fingertip or cotton bud, and begins working within minutes. Orajel is intended for short-term use in adults and children over 12, and should not be applied to broken or severely irritated skin.
