Forums Health Tooth abscess advice PLEASE Reply To: Tooth abscess advice PLEASE June 11, 2018 at 1:34 pm #351 Suee 10 Posts I really feel for you! Iv’e had 2 and just wanted to pull my head off. Orajel is amazing stuff but you have to be careful using it, it has an almost immediate numbing affect and really does work but i found when i used it that when some went on the gum at the back it felt like my throat was closing up and i got a bit panicky. It wasn’t but the affect is like it’s been anesthetized .
