When you're experiencing dental discomfort, Orajel Mouth Gel 5.3g can offer much-needed temporary relief. Its powerful 10% w/w Benzocaine formula acts as a local anaesthetic, working directly at the site of pain by temporarily blocking pain signals along the nerves. This makes it a suitable option for:

• Mouth Ulcers: Helps to ease the sharp pain associated with mouth ulcers, allowing you to eat and speak more comfortably.
• Denture Pain: Soothes irritation and soreness that can occur from new or ill-fitting dentures.
• Temporary Toothache Relief: Provides a numbing effect for toothache until you can see a dentist. It is important to remember that Orajel is for temporary relief only, and professional dental advice should always be sought for persistent tooth pain.
