Orajel™ Dental Gel delivers rapid relief when and where you need it most. The 10% w/w benzocaine is ideal to reduce pain associated with a broken tooth or in a tooth that may require a filling until you can see the dentist.

Orajel™ Dental Gel form gives you control over the product during application and goes right to the source of your pain to provide targeted relief.

Orajel™ Dental Gel contains benzocaine, a powerful local anaesthetic that works by temporarily blocking the pathway of pain signals along the nerves and relieves pain by numbing the area.

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.
• You have been told by your doctor that you have difficulty converting a component of your blood called methaemoglobin to haemoglobin. Please don’t be worried. Most people taking this medicine will not experience any problems.
• You are pregnant or breast feeding.
