Toothache Pain Relief Gel, Benzocaine 10% w/w, Fast-Acting, 5.3g

Currently dealing with what I believe to be a broken filling and it's absolute hell it's got to a point where ibuprofen doesn't work anymore and with the NHS wait lists for Dentists seemingly going nowhere I needed some relief and this stuff is magic. It's a small size sure but it'll last ages as you only need a small amount. It's basically the stuff dentists use on your teeth when they're cleaning it, it's not a great taste but manageable. All you do is cut the tube off, get a pea sized amount on your finger and rub it into wherever the pain is in your teeth and within 2 minutes your tooth goes numb. Best part is that it can be used up to 4 times a day. Within 2 minutes my now painful broken filling feels brand new. It says it can't be used long term but hopefully by then I'll have a dentist. Not a permanent fix as all it does is numb the nerves in your tooth to stop your brain from telling you you're in pain so by all logic you still need a dentist but I would 100% recommend it.

this has become a regular purchase as the children have got braces. it is so good for the days that they have adjustments. it numbs very quickly and stays numb for quite a long time.

I had really bad toothache a good number of years back & I went to the chemists for some Bonjela to maybe help me with the paracetamol that I was taking when the receptionist at the chemists mentioned this stuff to me, she really praised it so I bought it & the couple of times that I’ve had a toothache since I immediately buy this! It works wonders & that’ll be down to the 10% Benzocaine in it it numbs the tooth well & if you can take something a little stronger than paracetamol like Co-Codamol or Ibuprofen this stuff will get you through until you get to your dentists appointment or until you can get an emergency dentists appointment. Yes both the Red & Blue Boxes of the product (pictured) house rather small tubes but you don’t need a lot of the gel, if you can precisely hit the hole in your tooth you’ve numbed the pain with a tiny blob say the size of a small apple pip if not smaller that’ll depend on the hole size & depth I guess & a top tip is to use a double ended cotton wool bud instead of your finger tip to apply the gel as you’ll get better application without it hitting & numbing your tongue or your lips. Both work great they really do, I personally use the Red Boxed Gel for teeth & although the ingredients are virtually identical in both boxes the Red Boxed Gel is somehow way more effective on teeth & the Blue Boxed Gel is extremely effective on gums without being too harsh like the Red Boxed Gel is so when it’s needed I use the Red Gel on holes in the tooth but it’ll work all the same with missing fillings, chipped teeth where the nerve is exposed, cracks on a tooth basically I use a small blob on one side of the cotton wool bud for the tooth & immediately afterwards I use the Blue Boxed Gel on the opposite end of the bud & I’ll carefully rub it around the gums at the base of the same tooth using a tiny tad more & it works wonders, the relief is excellent! Now both Coloured tubes of Gel alone would work for pain relief in said situations but that little mix with some careful oral relief as in paracetamol (again for me) should get you by until you can see a dentist & for what they do they’re pretty inexpensive I must say, they’re both great products.

It works - numbs and kills the ache. Not a very large tube but at least it sorted me out. Very effective.

An absolute godsend when in absolute agony, provides a very quick relief

Bought for my daughter who has wisdom teeth pain and she said it was instant relief

Very relieved I discovered this dental gel it's brilliant really works worth every penny

I've been having terrible pain while eating and drinking. My dentist has advised that she can't remove the tooth without causing further damage, the tooth will need to become loose before it can be removed safely. I've been looking for some kind of physical barrier to protect my teeth and gums from the temperatures that cause the pain but I've not seen anything suitable. This stuff is really good and works instantly. The tube is small, but a tiny application, spread with a finger, numbs the tooth/gum. I apply about ten minutes before eating. I highly recommend.

Effective as always

Haven't used it. Arrived too late to be of any use. Will keep it though for next time one of us has tooth ache.
