Summary Of Our Orajel Mouth Sore Gel Review
There are several things we liked about Orajel Mouth Sore Gel. We like that this product claims to provide instant relief of pain when it is applied to mouth sores. We also like that it has antiseptic properties to fight off infection. Consumers seem to state in the reviews that they have some measure of success using it to treat canker sores and similar maladies. The ingredients seem to have a double effect of numbing pain and fighting off infection which are important qualities when treating canker sores and other gum irritations. However, we also saw many reviews stating that the gel was not helpful in getting rid of canker sores. Somewhat lacking from the website was a detailed description of possible side effects of the gel. It is unclear if it can be re-used at a later time if future canker sores reappear as they might well do. For these reasons we are not able to recommend Orajel Mouth Sore Gel.
