ORAL ANALGESIC GEL 0.42 OZ

Works good for teeth and gum

I've kept something like Anbesol or Orajel on hand for years to help with occasional gum irritation and tooth problems. I don't have to use it often, but when I do, I'm in no mood to go shopping for it. Unfortunately, those teensy little tubes and bottles of the brand names often run about $8 at the drug store, so I usually find myself buying the store brand or whatever is on sale. Needless to say, there was no way I was going to pass up getting 3 full-size tubes for the price of 1, and since I've used this brand before, I knew it would work well. This gel doesn't have the color or super-strong medicinal flavor of Anbesol, though there is a not terribly pleasant taste at first. It begins numbing tissue the second it's applied, and lasts for a good 20-30 minutes, after which it wears off so slowly that I don't even notice for a while. With 20% benzocaine, it's just as effective as Maximum Strength Anbesol and twice as effective as the regular strength. The packaging is a bit different than what's shown here on Amazon (as of 05/26/2017), but it's the same stuff inside. And the batch I received doesn't expire for another two years, so the crazy-low price isn't due to old product or anything. If you deal with pain from braces, dentures, or cavities that need to wait until your next paycheck to be addressed, this little gel is a lifesaver.

Seems to work the sane as the 'name brands' at half the cost

takes care of the ache

Good

I buy this item as it's just as good quality as name brands, and better priced!

The purchase was delayed several times, even though I needed it a long time before I got it. Also, the package was destroyed, but the merchandise inside the box was not damaged.

Not long ago a relative experienced an after-hours dental emergency, and it was good to have this item available in first aid while seeking a dentist for next day care on short notice. Just be sure to strictly follow label directions.
