Discussion on the use of Orajel after Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Hello Husks, I got my wisdom tooth extracted recently. Can I use Orajel for pain relief?
Hello! As a general principle, Orajel can be used to help relieve oral pain, but it's necessary to consult your dentist first. They know the specifics of your situation better.
Alright, but how does Orajel work?
Great question! Orajel works by numbing the area where it's applied. It contains Benzocaine, which is a local anesthetic. That's why it helps to ease the pain.
Does it have any side effects?
Like any other medication, Orajel can have side effects too. Some people might experience a burning or stinging sensation when they apply it. Rare but serious side effects include difficulty breathing and irregular heart rate. If you notice any abnormal symptoms after using Orajel, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Thank you Husks! This was really helpful.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Remember, it's always crucial to consult with your dentist before using any products after an extraction. Take care.
