[quote name='PlumeNoir']CHika, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have a toothache, and need something stronger than ambusol, products like AnalEase work because they have more of the "numbing stuff" (forget what it is called) than is allowed in OTC pain relievers for motuh aches.
Yes...there is a story to that knowledge...[/quote]
uhh i'm not familiar with that product, but if it's stronger than anbesol, it really shouldn't be applied to your more sensitive areas because the skin in very thin and the medication absorbs through the thin membranes really quickly. being any more numb than a few percent of benzo/lidocaine could lead to *serious* injury since you wouldn't know that something is torn...
usually for a toothache, there's "denture pain relief paste" it's a bit stronger than anbesol and it's a paste so it sticks to the area that you apply so more is absorbed over a longer time period. you do that along with advil and ice packs applied to your cheek and it usually helps.
