HurriCaine Topical Anesthetic Gel Watermelon - 1 oz.

My wife has a sneaky cavity that started in between two teeth and hollowed one of them out nearly completely before causing more than a dull ache. Then, almost overnight, all hell broke loose and she was in absolute agony. Eugenol (clove oil) doesn't agree with her at all, but we needed something quick, so I picked this up expecting something similar to oragel in terms of performance - ie to make it bearable as long as you reapply it often.I myself have multiple teeth in states of severe decay, with exposed nerves, because I had some pretty bad experiences with dentists when I was younger and I have a fairly high pain tolerance. Up until recently, I used eugenol myself to help with these, but I heard you shouldn't use eugenol near exposed nerves, it hasn't been helping all that much at this stage anyways, and frankly eugenol is unpleasant enough to use that I just couldn't stand doing so as frequently, so since we'd ordered this stuff for my wife already, I decided to try it.For both of us, this stuff worked amazingly well.* It's got a surprisingly pleasant taste, similar to the artificial flavoring they use in candy. No "medicine-y" taste that I noticed.* the consistency is somewhere between gel and softened wax. It melts away when it touches saliva, but holds long enough to largely get it where you need relief without numbing half of your face like other less viscous products.* The relief is immediate, and long lasting. I decided to write this review after accidentally biting down on a piece of food with one of my bad teeth and using a tiny bit of Huricaine to go from "eye watering pain" to perfectly fine instantly. It's been half an hour, and the pain hasn't come back. Amazing!* A jar of this stuff lasts longer than I expected. We've had this jar for about two months, and depsite frequent use still have tons left. It's just the right size to fit in the medicine cabinet, too.Side note: I picked up a set of dental tools here on Amazon that included a dental spade meant for levelling fillings. I use that tool to scoop out a small bit of Hurricaine to avoid contaminating the bottle itself with a finger or get cotton fibers in it from swabs. This stuff sticks to the tool very well, making it easy and almost completely mess free to apply.

My wife and I were skeptical and figured it would be another Orajel but I assure you it isn't. This is the best otc oral pain reliever that I've used. With that and ibuprofen it is Great!!!I recommend it 100%

Love the quick response to application of the gel. It numbs the area quickly and completely. I had dental work done and was having some tenderness in the area and was unable to eat due to the pain. I applied this and was able to eat with no problem.The taste is watermelon, but it's not an over-powering taste.Fast shipping and would buy again.

I was so excited to see this product. I used to be able to get it most everywhere and couldn’t find it for years. This oral topical anesthetic works and is safe to use. Now it is in watermelon flavor and real plus.

Works a bit like thick ora-jel, but you'll need something to apply it with. Proxi-brush, toothpick, cotton swabs, that sort of thing work OK. Fingers would need to be really small to reach the active ingredient, and you probably don't want to contaminate it.If you need this regularly, see a dentist soon. Temporary fix to something that can eventually become a dangerous problem.

I love this HurriCaine Gel, this is my second bottle I have purchase. If you have tooth or gum pain this is what you want, trust me, IT WORKS GREAT AND INSTANTLY!!! I tried using over-the-counter toothache pain medicine (not sure I can use the name, but everyone knows what I'm referring to) takes a little while to start working and tastes so nasty and doesn't last long, not this, the watermelon taste is wonderful and it starts working immediately. Should really say something if I'm on my second bottle. I hate the dentist and don't want to go every time I have pain in a tooth or gum, so I use this stuff. Just a little dab on your finger or Q-tip and rub where you have pain, GONE. Can't say enough about this product, works fast and lasts a long time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HURRICAINE GEL FOR TOOTH AND GUM PAIN!! You won't find anything better, I've looked and tried and always come back to this.

If you have a teething toddler, especially molars this product is a life saver. I don't know how I would have gotten any sleep until my babies molars came in without this product!! Great product totally worth the price.

I bought this when my children were teething more than 20 years ago and it worked amazing! When my grandson was teething, I bought it again; again, it worked amazing. My son and daughter-in-law tried to go with a cheaper option at their house but finally realized it was worth the little bit extra money to get something that actually worked. I HIGHLY recommend it!
