For Oral and Dental Conditions "It's the only thing that helps me sleep with my current toothache. With orajel the numbness was more intense but wore off much faster. Regarding the other comment I read here, you are not supposed to use it on Cold Sores. Canker sores and cold sores are not the same thing! Cold sore medicine usually contains an antiviral. Canker sores are inside the mouth. I got them as a kid whenever I drank a lot of orange juice. Cold sores are a variant of the herpes virus, so yeah, numbing it won't help."

For Oral and Dental Conditions "Anbesol DOES anesthetize a cold sore, but for some reason it always seems to make the sore worse by widening or deepening it."
