How Dentacain Gel works

Dental analgesic gels generally contain a local anaesthetic that numbs the area by blocking nerve signal conduction. This reduces pain sensations at the site of application for a short duration.

How to take Dentacain Gel

For topical oral use only. Apply a small amount to the affected tooth/gum/ulcer using a clean finger or cotton bud 2–3 times daily or as advised by a dentist/doctor. Avoid eating or drinking immediately after application to allow it to act.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Dentacain as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Dentacain than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.

Side effects of Dentacain Gel
