It may be a number of hours before a patient can attend an emergency dental appointment. In this time, pain relief is essential to help patients manage their discomfort. Benzocaine is the ideal solution.
Benzocaine is a powerful topical anaesthetic which works to relieve pain rapidly. It temporarily blocks pain signals along the nerves, and numbs the problem area quickly.
Benzocaine is an active ingredient in Orajel, allowing it to be easily applied to the painful area, working at its full effect for 15-20 minutes, providing total numbness in less than two minutes – much faster than systemic pain killers. Plus, its effects can be felt for several hours following application, delivering continued pain relief.
Orajel offers two strengths of benzocaine, meeting different patients’ needs. Containing 10% benzocaine is Orajel Dental Gel while Orajel Extra Strength features 20% benzocaine for patients in acute dental pain.
Patients can use Orajel up to four times a day, enabling them to manage their pain at home whilst they wait for an emergency appointment.
