Make sure it is safe for you to apply Orajel® Dental Gel. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, or you are unsure, talk to your pharmacist, doctor or dentist:
- You have had an allergic reaction to benzocaine or any of the ingredients in the gel particularly sorbic acid. An allergic reaction may include a rash, stinging, swelling or itching.
- You are taking antibiotics called sulphonamides, for example co-trimoxazole, as benzocaine may prevent them from working well.
