Dentocaine is used to relieve pain in the mouth and relieve pain caused by mouth ulcers, gum inflammation, temporary toothache, teething pain in children, or pain caused by dentures or braces. The medicine works by temporarily numbing nerve endings, providing quick relief from local pain and irritation. Dentocaine is usually used by applying a small amount to the painful site using a clean finger or a cotton ball. Swallowing, eating, or drinking should be avoided for a short time after use to ensure its effectiveness.
Dentocaine should be used several times daily as needed. However, it should not be overused or applied over large areas of the mouth to avoid excessive absorption, which may lead to side effects.
