About Anbesol
Anbesol is a trusted oral pain relief brand that has provided fast-acting relief from mouth and gum pain for decades. The brand's signature products contain benzocaine, a local anaesthetic that temporarily blocks nerve signals to provide rapid relief from the discomfort of toothaches, canker sores, mouth ulcers, gum irritation, and denture pain. When tooth or mouth pain strikes, Anbesol offers accessible over-the-counter relief. The Anbesol Adult Strength Gel is formulated for effective pain relief in adults experiencing oral discomfort. The active ingredient benzocaine works by numbing the affected area, providing temporary but immediate relief whilst you arrange dental care or wait for healing. The gel format allows precise application directly to pain points, ensuring the medication reaches exactly where it's needed without spreading unnecessarily. Anbesol products are particularly useful for relieving pain from a variety of conditions: toothaches while awaiting a dental appointment, sore gums from new dentures or orthodontic appliances, canker sores and mouth ulcers, pain following minor dental procedures, and teething discomfort in infants (specific baby formulations available). The gel should not be used for more than seven days without consulting a dentist or doctor. UK consumers can find Anbesol Adult Strength Gel at Tesco, Boots, and other pharmacies and supermarkets. As an over-the-counter medicine, it provides an accessible first line of defence against mouth pain, though it should be seen as temporary relief rather than a substitute for proper dental care when needed.
