Orajel 4x medicated cream

An oral pain-relief cream containing a local anaesthetic may numb a sore area briefly, but it does not treat the dental cause.

The product is a topical oral preparation applied to mucosa, not a repair for a cavity, abscess, cracked tooth, or gum disease. Its active ingredient, concentration, directions, age limits, and warnings depend on the exact package.

Read the current label, apply only the stated small amount to the intended area, and avoid swallowing excess product. Do not combine topical medicines or use it repeatedly to postpone an examination when pain persists.

Arrange dental care for pain that returns, lasts, or is triggered by biting, heat, or cold. Facial swelling, fever, spreading redness, or difficulty swallowing requires urgent assessment.

Ask the dentist whether the pain comes from decay, exposed dentine, trauma, or infection, and whether this product is appropriate with your medicines and health conditions.
