Pros: Quick Numbing Affect, Probably Better Suited For Minor Mouth Pain
Cons: Bitter Taste, Difficult Application, Did Little To Relieve My Pain

My wisdom teeth and jaw have been causing me a great deal of pain in the past few months. Sometimes it is so severe that it keeps me up at night, or keeps me from functioning normally throughout my day. For several weeks I avoided going to the dentist. ...

Pros: Relief faster than you could expect from a pill such as aspirin or tylenol
Cons: Numbness that may develop on the cheek/lip or tongue area

I am new to pain - and found I have little tolerance for it - especially when it is smack in the middle of my most used body part - my mouth. The dentist decided she wanted to put fillings my most used molar on the right side of my mouth - worn down by ...

Pros: Numbs the area almost immediately.
Cons: Freezes your lips and tongue too.

I have had false teeth for 30+ years now. I get problems with them rubbing against the gums. Also I sometimes bite the inside of my mouth and that pain is something else.

Back in England I would use Bongela. It worked really good in numbing...

Pros: it WILL make you fell better temporarily, cheap, over the counter cure
Cons: not a permanent solution, numbness may feel strange

Orajel is excellent for quick relief of minor tooth pain. It is definitely not a permanent solution. Unlike taking pain killers for tooth pain, this product is more focused, diret and effective. Tylenol, Aleve won't work as well to help your tooth feel...

Pros: This works for minor pain associated with sensitive teeth, some dental procedures.
Cons: It won't take the place of pain medications, such as Tylenol, Advil, etc.

I have had the same dentist for over 25 years. We have a good patient/doctor relationship. And he pretty much knows my mouth better than I do.

Still . . . I know whenever I have work done that later I’m going to be in some discomfort....

Pros: It does provide fast toothache relief.
Cons: Relief doesn't last more than 20 minutes or so.

I recently received an unused tube of Orajel, Maximum Strength toothache pain medicine from a friend. I guess she had grown tired of hearing the complaints I had been making concerning an aching tooth. This is the first experience I have had...

Pros: Takes away the pain and irritation.
Cons: Doesn't last too long. Pain is back in no time.

Doesn't matter what I do or how many times I brush my teeth, I end up with a bad tooth. It usually happens in the middle of the night or whenever I can't get a dentist on the phone! Grrr!

I've tried everything over the counter to make...

Pros: Eases pain fast.
Cons: none

Lets face it, there is only a few things that can hurt as bad or as intense as the pain one has when they have a bad tooth.

The pain seems to resonate inside the jaw triggering other teeth and even sinuses to start joining in with the rhythmic...

Pros: Very fast and simple
Cons: They call this a LOCAL anesthetic?

They're not kidding when they say MAXIMUM STRENGTH. This stuff comes is a very small plastic tube, and smells very strong of mint. I have an impacted wisdom tooth and the swollen gums to boot, so I went directly to the strongest stuff in the...

Pros: fast relief
Cons: Taste could be offensive to some

Several years ago I had the misfortune of losing a filling at a Chicago restaurant. Being away from home on a business trip I hated to go to a different dentist, so I went to a drug store and bought Orajel, which promised instant relief. True to it's...

Pros: none
Cons: it simply doesn't work at all

Let me tell you, when you have a toothache don't reach for the Orajel. It doesn't work. I tried it this past week, on a major toothache, and the only thing it managed to do was make the pain worse. I was in more pain after using this product than I was...

Pros: mint flavor, the 30 sec of relief
Cons: "temporary" relief = 30 seconds max

I have tried using Orajel numerous times, always out of desperation and pain, but everytime I rediscover what I seemed to have forgotten...

Orajel's "temporary" relief is more fleeting than you'd expect.

If temporary is a...

Pros: works in minutes
Cons: wears away after a few hours

In the past year I have been getting really bad toothaches. One day while I was at work it got so bad I could barely talk which wasn't good cause I was a cashier and you are expected to talk to the customers. Anyway on my break I found this product and...

Pros: works very quickly, and the effect lasts a good while
Cons: When you first apply this, the pain increases for about a minute before numbness sets in

I have had trouble with tooth pain on more than one occaision and more than one tooth. I found that it was a good idea to keep a tube of this medical miracle in my purse. I would apply this gel at the first sign of aching and usually stop the real pain...
