Benzodent Maximum Strength Dental and Oral Pain Relieving Cream for Dentures, Mouth Sores, and Braces, Long lasting Topical Anesthetic, 1oz

I get canker sores a lot - especially under stress. I've learned to avoid toothpastes that contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which has lessoned the frequency and severity and I used to use another benzocaine product called Kank-a for pain relief. But it was only mildly effective because the consistency is like syrup and never stayed on a sore long enough to do much good. After using several other products that contain benzocaine 20%, this Benzodent has landed as my new favorite! It's a paste that actually *sticks* to the sore keeping it numb for hours. The other product would liquify with saliva and run all over my mouth and even down my throat so I'd have lots of pockets of numbness. Kind of a mess. Benzodent is far better at localizing the medicine and stays only where you need it. Apply a half-pea size of it onto a cotton swab and apply directly to the sore spot. Once in place, I'm able to brush my teeth and even eat spicy foods completely pain free! Same active ingredient, it's the consistency that makes all the difference. Great stuff!

I wish I had known about this stuff years ago! I’ve suffered with toothaches a lot due to sugary drinks mostly and finally had to get dentures. When I had my teeth removed I was obviously in a bit of pain from it however I refused pain meds because I’m a recovering addict (16 years sober) so I have few options for pain management. I ordered this stuff after it being recommended by my cousin who had a similar experience and I immediately ordered more after receiving the first tube! This stuff numbs you so well and stays put! It doesn’t feel bulky under my dentures at all either. Plus a little goes a very long way! It really doesn’t take much to ease the pain so a tube lasts forever! I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone suffering from any dental pain. It’s better than anything I’ve ever tried before.

Oh my goodness! This product is fantastic. I’m wearing dentures for the first time, and they occasionally rub my gums. I simply applied a small amount of cream to the affected area, and it relieved the pain. In my opinion, this product is definitely worth purchasing. Love this product.

I bought this because I have Sjogren's disease & psoriatic arthritis which both cause SO many dental problems & a LOT of dental pain! I've used other benzocaine products but this one really is better by far! It has lasting relief that other products just don't have.You can see from the picture that it's super thick! That's an advantage because it helps with long lasting pain relief, longer than other products we've tried. Its great that it has such lasting relief. It does have a slight flavor, which IMO tastes ever say slightly like oil of clove, which is very often used for dental pain. But I don't see it listed anywhere on the tube.The cons of this product are few. First is that, if you happen to use too much, you'll have clumps of this in your mouth... And until you're used to it, there's a fine line between just enough and a bit too much. Go easy with this product and add more if needed after about 15 - 20 min.The other negative isn't about the product itself but the tube. I absolutely hate metal tubes. You can never get all the product out of the tube. IF THEY ARE GOING TO USE A METAL TUBE, THEY SHOULD ADD A FREE METAL TUBE SQUEEZER KEY! I had to buy a set to get all of the product!!! No Bueno! I vote for better packaging! I much prefer the little jars like the ones in which Hurricaine is packaged - another benzocaine product,(which does NOT last long!).The other thing I've used this for, (which it isn't recommended for but it definitely works) is on the very painful psoriasis on mom's hands! I just suggested it because we were quite desperate to get her relief. Although initially it stings, very shortly after applying the product she's fine. Too bad she can't soak in it!At the time of writing this we were waiting on lidocaine cream. We tried it and it did absolutely NOTHING.I'd say anyone with dental pain (or other pain) would really appreciate getting this, or at least being told about it! Frankly, I'm very surprised that dentists have never recommended this products. Read the label before using because there is at least one warning. I had no side effects.Highly Recommended!

This numbing gel/pasteIt lasts longer than any otc product you can buy anywhere or at the store. That said, even though it has 20% benzocaine it feels like 5%. You don't get the intense numbing that you would from other products with the same %. But oddly it lasts a half a day or longer and stays in place where you apply it.

I’m you are having any soreness on your gums👍 best ever

Good for dentures! Great for numbing!

For a long time I saw this stuff all over my mom’s house! I knew she had dentures but never read the tube just assumed it was for her dentures! Well 3-5 yrs after my mom passed away I had my top 8 remaining front teeth removed; being the Vain woman that I’ve excepted I am I made sure the dentist had a already made top denture read to be placed before I left! Everything we fabulous! My only issue was I couldn’t eat solid food for a while or use tubed glue until my gums healed. Well after a cpl days I could no longer swallow soft food or soup because immediately it would come right back out! Frustrated I vented to a friend to which she replied “use the fixodent powder to eat it won’t require you to jeopardize the healing process and would allow me to successfully eat a actual meal so I did and WOWWW it worked after I was healed I used the tube glue because I prefer the lasting time of it to the powder being I constant drink throughout the day; not alcohol lol but water or soft drinks! Before I got my simi permanent liner I had some serious rubbing issues and omg that’s the most painful thing aside from toothaches and earaches so I remembered this stuff I had casually left in my moms purse when she passed because it reminded me of her when I’d grab the purse for comfort or reflection that was something she always had well although out dated a bit I tried a small amount and OMGGGG it was absolutely amazing and the pain was gone and sitting under my denture it offered extra cushion and complete pain relief!! It’s much thicker then toothpaste but not at all difficult to apply! You dry the area to which you need to apply it, one dry or simi dry apply a small amount (you don’t need a lot) and add your glue to denture or don’t depending on personal choice and you can remove any excess that come out when you bit down to secure teeth with a Cotten swab or Q-Tip!! Good luck and if you haven’t tried it go ahead you won’t regret it!!
