Should a patient phone the practice out of hours, seeking emergency care, providing an answerphone message which offers advice about managing pain can help them to minimise their symptoms until they can be seen. The Orajel range of pain relief products can help patients to effectively manage their pain at home whilst they wait for an emergency dental appointment.
Orajel Dental Gel[i] delivers rapid relief from dental pain when and where it’s most needed and contains 10% benzocaine to reduce pain. For acute toothache, recommend Orajel Extra Strength.[ii] It contains 20% benzocaine, the maximum level available without a prescription in the Orajel range.
Orajel enables patients to apply the powerful local anaesthetic directly to the source of the pain, blocking pain signals along the nerves, numbing the area in just two minutes – faster that over the counter painkillers.
Contact the team at Orajel to find out more about the benefits of the range to your patients.
