Alyssa Danchuk - 20 days ago, Verified purchaser
I made the mistake of thinking this would be the best thing for my mouth sore. Not for me. It's diffcult to put on and it makes areas you don't want medicated go numb like your tongue. Pretty much everything except the actual sore itself. It also had white remaining residue left over in my mouth. It just didn't work for me. I ended up getting poraxyl mouthwash and it was so much easier to use and it was more effective.

Hi Alyssa! We understand it didn’t hit the mark for you this time. The numbness spreading and residue left behind definitely don’t sound like the relief you were hoping for. We’d love the chance to learn more and help however we can. Please call or text us at (800) 833-9532, or chat with us at orajel.com, Monday – Friday, from 9 – 5 Eastern.

Numbs the area but doesn't last very long. Sometimes the numbing ointment can transfer with your saliva and make your tongue numb also.

I much prefer Kanka as it lasts longer but they didn't have it in store so I tried this on a canker sore. Very temporarily relief, must re-apply often for it to help. I wouldn't purchase again.

Why did I wait to so long to try Orajel?!

Susie - 2 months ago

I enjoy all the "no-no" spicy acidic foods that can trigger mouth sores, and I suffer the consequences with canker sores that come on like a raging fire. The last one I had was so incredibly painful because it was in an area on my tongue that rubs against my teeth when I talk. My husband had longed begged me to try Orajel but for whatever reason, I thought "No meds, I'll just get through it with warm water & salt." He finally had enough of my nonsense and just went and bought it. So for the record: I am DUMB because just a little dab of Orajel and I had instant relief. It was a Wow! moment. Why did I wait so long to try this? Please don't be dumb like me and get relief for your mouth sore pain right now!!

Confusing directions. Instructs for “adults and children over 2” to take up to 4 times and also for “children between 2 and 12” to consult a doctor. Am I missing something?
1 reply from Orajel Consumer Relations team - 13 days ago
Good morning! We are sorry for the confusion. Happy to help! Children 2-12 should see doctor prior to use, if the doctor gives the go-ahead, apply to affected area up to 4 times a day. We do hope this helps! Please watch for a follow up email. Should you have any more questions, please reach out to us there and no one should have to live in pain!

Bought this a few days ago for a stubborn canker sore on my bottom lip. Doesn't treat it at all, just temporarily numbs the area which is nice for a bit of relief. Lasts 30 mins. at best and can't use more than 4 times a day.

I didn't receive it in my drive up order and when I put in the app I didn't receive it and I wanted it sent to me. They held the one that they were supposed to send me because they're waiting for me to send the replacement. Did I mention that I never received the first one. So now they want to return from me for something I never received. I called the 800 number and they release the one that was on hold but they never cleared the fact that I never received the original one. So they still want me to replace it. I am so done with Target, and there are mixups with not contacting me in regards to what they have and have not in stock. I would not recommend them to my enemy at this point.
