Description
Dentinox Teething Gel helps to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with teething in babies from 5 months of age. It contains Lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to numb pain and Cetylpyridinium, an antiseptic, to treat minor mouth wounds and infections.
Directions
- Apply a pea sized blob of gel 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).
-
If your child vomits, spits or swallows the medicine, do not use any more product immediately. Wait 3 hours before using the medicine again.
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.
