Orajel Extra Strength Teething Gel for Baby Dental Relief

 

Orajel Extra Strength Dental Gel provides targeted relief for teething discomfort in babies and young children. This topical anaesthetic gel contains benzocaine, which works by temporarily numbing the affected area of the gums where new teeth are emerging.

The 5.3g tube offers a convenient size for parents to manage teething episodes at home or whilst travelling. You can apply this teething gel directly to your baby's sore gums using a clean finger or cotton swab.

 

How Benzocaine Works for Teething Pain

 

Benzocaine is a local anaesthetic that blocks nerve signals in the treated area. When you apply the gel to your baby's gums, it temporarily reduces sensation and provides relief from the discomfort associated with emerging teeth.

The gel formulation allows for precise application to the specific areas where your baby is experiencing teething pain. The effects typically begin within minutes of application and can last for several hours, depending on your child's individual response.

 

Suitable for Babies and Young Children

 

This dental gel is specifically formulated for use in babies and young children experiencing teething discomfort. It's particularly helpful during the period when primary teeth are breaking through the gums, typically between 6 months and 3 years of age.

The gel may be suitable for your child if they are experiencing:

• Sore, tender, or swollen gums
• Increased drooling during teething
• Difficulty sleeping due to teething discomfort
• Fussiness or irritability related to emerging teeth

For additional support during teething, you may also find our baby and toddler products helpful for managing other aspects of your child's comfort and care.

 

Extra Strength Formula for Effective Relief

 

The extra strength formulation contains a higher concentration of benzocaine compared to regular strength teething gels. This increased concentration is designed to provide more effective numbing action for babies experiencing significant teething discomfort.

The gel consistency ensures the active ingredient stays in contact with the affected gum area for an appropriate duration, maximising the numbing effect where your baby needs it most.

 

Storage and Handling Requirements

 

Store this teething gel at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to maintain the gel's consistency and effectiveness.

Always ensure the cap is securely fastened and store the product out of reach of children when not being administered. Check the expiry date before each use and dispose of any expired product safely.
