Description

This gel is ideal for babies over 5 months with teething pain and can also be used by adults, the elderly, and older children to relieve mouth pain from ulcers, ill-fitting dentures, or braces.

When babies start teething around 6 months, their first teeth cut through their gums, causing discomfort and irritation. Common symptoms include:

  • sore, red gums,
  • dribbling,
  • a baby wants to chew on things,
  • one flushed cheek, and irritability.

Warnings

Do not use more than one product containing lidocaine at the same time.

For any extra information, please contact your healthcare provider or contact us.

Directions

  • Adults and the elderly: Apply a small amount to the affected area with a clean fingertip. Two applications immediately will normally be sufficient to obtain pain relief. It should not be used more frequently than every 3 hours.
  • Babies teething and children: Apply a pea-sized amount (0.2 grams) of Anbesol teething gel with a clean finger to the affected area.

    -The dose may be repeated if necessary after 3 hours, up to a maximum of 6 doses in 24 hours.

    -Treatment should be stopped once symptoms have resolved.

    -Not to be used for more than 7 days.

    -Parents or carers should seek medical attention if the child's condition deteriorates during treatment.

    -In case of vomiting, spitting or accidental ingestion, the dose should not be repeated immediately. The dose may be repeated if necessary after 3 hours.
