Benzocaine is one of a group of medicines called local anaesthetics. It provides relief by numbing the area and therefore reducing the pain.

Not suitable for children below the age of 12 years.

Hazards and Cautions
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.
Remember:
Orajel Dental Gel is intended for short-term use until you can get to a dentist. It should not be used continuously.
Do not use for more than 4 days at a time. If the toothache persists, consult your dentist.
