Hazards and Cautions
Make sure it is safe for you to apply Orajel® Dental Gel. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, or you
are unsure, talk to your pharmacist, doctor or dentist:

You have had an allergic reaction to benzocaine or any of the ingredients in the gel particularly sorbic acid. An allergic reaction may include a rash, stinging, swelling or itching.
You are taking antibiotics called sulphonamides, for example co-trimoxazole, as benzocaine may prevent them from working well.
You have been told by your doctor that you have difficulty converting a component of your blood called methaemoglobin to haemoglobin. Please don't be worried. Most people taking this medicine will not experience any problems.
You are pregnant or breast feeding.
Remember:
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 for more than 4 days at a time. If the toothache persists, consult your dentist.
