About this deal

Orajel Dental Gel is intended for short-term use until you can get to a dentist. It should not be used continuously. Do not use Orajel to treat large skin areas or deep puncture wounds. Avoid using the medicine on skin that is raw or blistered, such as a severe burn or abrasion. For children younger than 2 years old, the ADA recommends using a smear (no larger than a grain of rice) of fluoride toothpaste. For children 2-6 years old, the ADA recommends a pea-sized amount, which is approximately 0.25 grams of toothpaste or 0.25 milligrams of fluoride. You have been told by your doctor that you have difficulty convertin a component of your blood called methaemglobin to haemoglobin. Please don't be worried, Most people taking this medicine will not experience any problems. Orajel numbs the skin or surfaces inside the mouth and used for the temporary relief of pain from sore throat, canker sores, cold sores, fever blisters, minor irritation or injury of the mouth and gums.

After speaking with three board-certified pediatric dentists, we researched a wide variety of toothpastes and prioritized factors such as active and inactive ingredients, flavor, age range, and a Seal of Acceptance from the ADA. We also considered whether a toothpaste contains fluoride and has the ability to fight and prevent cavities, while also recognizing that some parents want a fluoride-free option. If you experience any other unusual or unexpected symptoms, you should consult your doctor, dentist or pharmacist. You are taking antibiotics called sulphonamides, for example co-trimoxazole, as benzocaine may prevent them from working well. Orajel used in the mouth may cause a condition in which the oxygen in your body tissues can become dangerously low. This is a potentially fatal condition called methemoglobinemia (met-HEEM-oh glo-bin-EE-mee-a). This condition may occur after only one use of benzocaine or after several uses.American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs. Fluoride toothpaste use for young children. The Journal of the American Dental Association. 2014; 145(2):190-191. doi:10.14219/jada.2013.47 Like other medicines, this gel may cause some side effects. If this happens to you, stop using the gel. Grace Yum, DDS, a board-certified pediatric dentist and founder and CEO of Mommy Dentists in Business in Chicago An overdose of benzocaine can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. This can happen if you apply more than the recommended dose.

To find the best toothpastes for toddlers, we analyzed more than 20 top-rated products and focused on ingredients, taste, texture, and cavity prevention abilities. We prioritized those that contain no artificial flavors, dyes, or SLS. We looked for products that are made from natural ingredients and are specific about age ranges and recommended use. Seek advice before using if you are breast feeding, pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suffer from allergies. Bozhena Fisher, DDS, a board-certified pediatric dentist and a mother, tells Verywell Family that parents should pay attention to ingredients. “I recommend toothpaste that is more natural and has no artificial colors or flavors,” says Dr. Fisher. Use the smallest amount needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of Orajel. Do not cover treated skin areas with plastic wrap without medical advice. Avoid getting Orajel in your eyes. Avoid swallowing the gel while applying it to your gums or the inside of your mouth.

Depending on your toddler’s personality, brushing their teeth can either be a breeze or a chore. Regardless of their temperament, they’ll need to have their teeth brushed twice a day, ideally with fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride helps fight plaque and cavities, and when applied correctly, is safe to use as soon as your child’s first tooth appears.

Dr. Dunlop also cautions parents about sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a foaming agent that creates bubbles in toothpaste. “SLS is found in many cleaning products (e.g., soaps and shampoos) because it makes suds. When used in toothpaste, it can cause or exacerbate canker sores in kids who are prone to getting them,” Dr. Dunlop says.

Use Orajel exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Orajel toothpaste is formulated with liquid calcium unique technology and is clinically proven to relieve dental pain caused by sensitivity while effectively removing plaque and leaving your breath minty fresh.It’s smart to avoid ingredients that can be irritating or cause allergic reactions,” says Dr. Yum. “These include artificially colored dyes, which can cause a swollen tongue or itchiness, or SLS, which is a cleaning agent that can cause sores in the mouth for some.”
