Indication:

Dentinox Teething Gel contains the active ingredients lidocaine and cetylpyridinium. Lidocaine is one of a group of medicines called local anaesthetics, which numb pain. Cetylpyridinium is an antiseptic that is used to treat minor wounds and minor infections of the mouth. Dentinox Teething Gel can be used to help relieve pain and discomfort associated with teething, in children from 5 months of age, when other non-medicinal methods such as massaging of the gums or use of teething rings do not provide necessary relief.

Directions:

Apply a pea-sized blob of gel (see circle shown above), to a clean fingertip and spread gently onto the sore area of the gum. If necessary, repeat the dose after 3 hours. Do not use more than 6 times in one day (24 hour period). Stop treatment when your child’s symptoms settle. Do not use for more than 7 days for each teething episode. If your child’s symptoms worsen, do not improve after 7 days of treatment or you are concerned that your child is unwell, talk to a health care professional. If your child vomits, spits or swallows the medicine, do not use any more product immediately. Wait 3 hours before using the medicine again.

Caution:

Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you to. Do not give more medicine than the label tells you to.
