orajel tooth and gum pain

Across the listed Orajel products the active ingredients include benzocaine, benzyl alcohol, and menthol. Some teething gels are non‑medicated and list no active ingredient.

They target teething discomfort, toothaches and gum pain, mouth sores (canker and cold sores), irritation from dentures or braces, and other minor mouth irritations.

Medicated items generally state they may be applied up to four times daily for adults and children 2 years and older. Some labels also warn not to exceed directions or use longer than 7 days without a dentist or doctor’s advice.
