What is ORAJEL 10% Dental Gel?
ORAJEL 10% Dental Gel is a fast-acting, topical anesthetic designed to provide temporary relief from toothache and other oral pains. The gel contains benzocaine, a powerful local anesthetic that numbs the affected area, offering immediate relief from discomfort caused by toothaches, gum irritation, and denture pain.
How does ORAJEL 10% Dental Gel work?
