First off, I struggle with tooth pain and issues; I have some medical issues that cause me some tooth issues, and it's tough. I get into see the dentist as much as I'm financially able to (as most people know, dental coverage isn't always the best or sufficient). 🙁 Needless to say; time to time, I need something that will help with a tooth pain or ache. I have found that the 'Anbesol' brand works well for me. I've tried their solution (that came in a bottle); however, this maximum strength oral pain relief gel is (personally) more convenient for me to use. This product came in good condition; was on a card, and sealed by plastic. The tube itself is closed (under the lid), and must be snipped off by scissors. I always appreciate when products add protective measures-especially for something like this. This gel is red in color, and has a thick consistency; it adheres easily to the areas that it's applied to, and a little goes a long way. I'm very pleased that this gel provides quick relief of tooth aches and pains, and lasts quite a long while. This really is my go-to product to use when dealing with oral pains, and it's easy to take along with me (whether in my purse or pocket). I think this is a great oral/tooth pain reliever, and this is my third time purchasing this product. I like to keep it on hand for when I experience dental issues and pains, and am waiting to get into the dentist. I highly recommend this product, and feel it's a good value-especially with its quality and longevity. Read more
I am very happy with the results from Anbesol Maximum Strength. The consistency of the gel is perfect for easy application to specific areas of the mouth without it washing away too quickly. It delivers a consistent, powerful numbing sensation that effectively blunts sharp dental pain. The fast-acting relief exceeded my expectations, making it an essential part of my first-aid kit. It is a well-formulated, high-quality analgesic that offers great value. If you need a professional-grade result for toothaches or cold sores, this is a fantastic choice. Read more

Powerful Numbing Relief — Works Fast, Tastes Strong! I purchased Anbesol Maximum Strength for my 13-year-old son, who has dealt with painful canker sores for as long as I can remember. I get them occasionally myself, so I know exactly how intense and frustrating that pain can be — especially when the sore is on the inside of the lip, cheek, or right along the gums where it gets irritated every time you talk, eat, or accidentally bite down near it. We decided to give Anbesol Maximum Strength a try because we needed something strong, fast, and reliable for those moments when the pain becomes unbearable. And to its credit, this product really does deliver on the numbing effect. The moment you apply it, you feel a strong tingling and cooling sensation, and within seconds the area goes noticeably numb. For my son, it means he can actually eat without wincing, and for me, it’s a relief to know he’s getting a break from the constant discomfort. Like most benzocaine-based gels, Anbesol doesn’t necessarily speed up the healing process — at least not in our experience — but when it comes to immediate pain relief, it absolutely does its job. It’s strong, powerful, and dependable. Now, fair warning: the taste is not pleasant. My son describes it as a very strong, almost chemical flavor that hits you right away. It’s definitely not something you’d ever want to taste on purpose. But once you get past those few seconds, the relief that follows is worth it, especially during those first painful days of a canker sore. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is the taste and the fact that it doesn’t help the sore heal any faster — but in terms of numbing and comfort, this product really stands out. If you or your child suffer from painful mouth sores, Anbesol Maximum Strength is absolutely worth keeping in your medicine cabinet. Read more

Seems to be a new formula (dark red) and is thinner. Works very well. It deadens a larger area of the mouth, but that’s OK. Pleased with quicker results. Read more
