Benzocaine topical for Oral and Dental Conditions "I had all my teeth removed and got immediate dentures. My oral surgeon packed my dentures with Benzodent. I never had any pain at all. I continued using Benzodent while adjusting to my dentures. It is very affordable. It's thick and doesn't melt away right after applying. It doesn't taste horrible. I HIGHLY recommend this over any other oral pain gel."

Benzocaine topical for Pruritus "I only used Lanacane when I had itchiness on my vagina, once every 18 months or so, but it was perfect to stop that. Best I’ve ever known, better than Vagisil, but it appears is no longer available in the UK certainly. We don’t pay insurance here as we don’t pay for healthcare, we get it free. I pay for cream, costs around £5, but the one I buy lasts a few years as I do not use it regularly."

Benzocaine topical for Oral and Dental Conditions "Use about 1/8 inch length strip from applicator and apply with your pinky to the affected gum line. Try not to swig, in fact spit out your saliva. This stuff can stay in place for 25 to 45 minutes so you can fall asleep. Goodnight and goodbye."

Benzocaine topical for Aphthous Ulcer "Best thing ever for ulcers. Tried Orajel for 3 days, did absolutely nothing and only numbed the area for about 2 minutes. Anbesol keeps it numb longer and is way easier to put on the area."

Benzocaine topical for Cold Sores "I've used this to help with the pain associated with cold sores, and along with helping manage the pain, it seems to speed up the healing time. I'd recommend it!"

Benzocaine topical for Oral and Dental Conditions "Anbesol does anesthetize a cold sore, but for some reason it always seems to make the sore worse by widening or deepening it."

For Cold Sores "Lanacane has benzocaine and benzethonium chloride. I find this works wonders with my cold sores. I apply every half hour, and the sore is very quick to heal."

Benzocaine topical for Aphthous Ulcer "Worked well on me but made me a bit woozy, effective for short-term pain relief but be careful not to exceed dose, morning, lunch, evening, and just before bed is enough, then see a dentist."

For Cold Sores "This product works well for cold sores. It eases the pain and moistens the cold sore to keep it from cracking and bleeding. I formerly used Viractin, but it is discontinued."
