TOOTH PAIN. OTC oral anesthetics for tooth pain include products containing 5% to 20% benzocaine or 0.5% phenol (Table). Currently, there are no products marketed for pediatric teething pain that contain 0.5% phenol.
Some medications containing mild local anaesthetic are also available on prescription or over the counter from pharmacies. Depending on what they're being used for, local anaesthetics can be given as injections, creams, gels, sprays or ointments. Some of the main uses of local anaesthetics are outlined below.
