Guests are saying
This product provides quick and effective relief for mouth sores, canker sores, and gum pain. Guests appreciate its fast-acting numbing effect, although many note that the relief is temporary, lasting between 10 to 30 minutes. Some guests wish for longer-lasting effects and different flavors. Despite its short duration, it is highly recommended for immediate pain relief.

It works!
Had a sore in my mouth that was uncomfortable. Applied orajel over the next few days, and it is feeling so much better.

Target shipped product in poor condition
The product is fine, but the packaging was worn and water damaged. It's so beat up that I'm a little concerned about using it because it seems like it could have been contaminated.

Gross
This item really is gross because even if you just dab on a cold sore in your mouth, it will literally numb your entire tongue and your tongue is not even there just from like you’re saliva swallowing and stuff. It will literally just make your whole entire mouth, numb and it’s really horrible tasting, and it does not help with itchy gums.

Buys you some short term comfort
I regularly get canker sores because of dental work. While this does not medicinally help the healing process, the numbing definitely makes the days pass quicker as it heals on its own. If i don’t eat or drink it can last as long as an hour. Half an hour if I do eat and drink. If you’ve ever had a topical cream applied at the dentist before they give you a gum injection, it’s essentially that. People are right that it can travel down your mouth and numb other parts, so hold your mouth open for a bit after you apply to get it settled on the sore, then spit a few times after you shut your mouth to rinse the excess. It’s definitely very short term, but it’ll save your sanity for a little while.

Nah
I made the mistake of thinking this would be the best thing for my mouth sore. Not for me. It's diffcult to put on and it makes areas you don't want medicated go numb like your tongue. Pretty much everything except the actual sore itself. It also had white remaining residue left over in my mouth. It just didn't work for me. I ended up getting poraxyl mouthwash and it was so much easier to use and it was more effective.

Me
Numbs the area but doesn't last very long. Sometimes the numbing ointment can transfer with your saliva and make your tongue numb also.

Kanka is better for canker sores
I much prefer Kanka as it lasts longer but they didn't have it in store so I tried this on a canker sore. Very temporarily relief, must re-apply often for it to help. I wouldn't purchase again.

Why did I wait to so long to try Orajel?!
I enjoy all the "no-no" spicy acidic foods that can trigger mouth sores, and I suffer the consequences with canker sores that come on like a raging fire. The last one I had was so incredibly painful because it was in an area on my tongue that rubs against my teeth when I talk. My husband had longed begged me to try Orajel but for whatever reason, I thought "No meds, I'll just get through it with warm water & salt." He finally had enough of my nonsense and just went and bought it. So for the record: I am DUMB because just a little dab of Orajel and I had instant relief. It was a Wow! moment. Why did I wait so long to try this? Please don't be dumb like me and get relief for your mouth sore pain right now!!

Unclear directions for different ages
Confusing directions. Instructs for “adults and children over 2” to take up to 4 times and also for “children between 2 and 12” to consult a doctor. Am I missing something?
1 reply from Orajel Consumer Relations team - 9 months ago
Good morning! We are sorry for the confusion. Happy to help! Children 2-12 should see doctor prior to use, if the doctor gives the go-ahead, apply to affected area up to 4 times a day. We do hope this helps! Please watch for a follow up email. Should you have any more questions, please reach out to us there and no one should have to live in pain!

Instant relief
The taste is just like ice mint gum and is actually pretty nice. it provided me instant relief, I would highly recommend. It numbed my mouth a lot in that area so just a word of advice a little goes a long way

Temporary Relief
This gel works great for temporary relief! It numbs for about 10-15 minutes. I did find myself reapplying often, but overall, it worked.
