Hi Bob, Brooks may likely better address 4% LIDOCAINE Oral safety, but...if you are in PAIN and need help PDQ/Rat-Now...check out www.orajel.com !!! They market both, a 10% & 20% BENZOCAINE~GEL in Regular & Extra-Strength products for Tooth/Gum use. Not-Doctor, but as best I recall, both LIDOCAINE & BENZOCAINE are close relative? Best News is...we can buy ORAJEL Liquid & Gel at our local Drug/Grocery Stores..!/? FYI: I have personally used and recomended ORAJEL many times...WORKS GREAT! ============================================================== --- On Mon, 12/22/08, Bob Banever <[email protected]> wrote: From: Bob Banever <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FW]RE: CS>TOOTH EMERGENCY: Comment To: [email protected] Date: Monday, December 22, 2008, 8:51 PM brooks, This product isn't advertised for internal use, only topical. Is it safe to place on or around a tooth in the mouth?

Lidocaine gel (the best form to use) may be obtained without prescription from the Alimed Company. The url for their website is Http://Alimed.com When the homepage comes up just type lido-gel in the product inquiry window. The product which is the best for topical use is 3319 and comes in a 2 oz. bottle. It is 4% strength and costs about $22.00 plus shipping. It has proven to ber an excellent product...for us. Two ounces should last the casual used quite a long time. It is not susceptible to aging effects and may be maintained at room temperature for a long time (years). We have used this material for quite some time and it ;has yielded splendid high-speed pain relief in topical applications. Normally, it is quite difficult for the lay-person to obtain anything containing any of the really useful nerve-blocking agents. I do not know how much longer this avenue for acquiring this substance will remain open....but it continues to be so at present. I just purchased two bottles several days ago....and did so as an individual citizen....not through the foundation. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Brooks.
