Dentinox Teething Gel - 10g

Dentinox Teething Gel – 10g is a licensed pharmacy only medicinal gel formulated to provide fast, targeted relief from the pain and discomfort associated with baby teething. Featuring a sugar-free formula containing a mild local anaesthetic (lidocaine) to temporarily numb sore gums and an antiseptic (cetylpyridinium chloride) that helps treat minor mouth wounds and protect tender gum tissue, it’s designed for babies aged 5 months and over when non-medicinal measures such as gum massage and teething rings do not provide sufficient relief.

The easy-to-apply gel can help infants feed and sleep more comfortably during the teething stage, and is commonly recommended by UK pharmacists as a second-line teething relief option.

Pack size: 10 g
