Q: How does Benzodent work to relieve denture pain?
A: Benzodent contains benzocaine, an oral anesthetic, that provides immediate temporary relief from the pain and discomfort associated with irritated gums and denture sore spots. What's more, Benzodent is maximum strength, the strongest benzocaine formula you can get without a prescription. Benzodent isn't a gel or liquid. It has a cream-like consistency so it stays on top of the sore spots for hours. Because Benzodent stays put, you get hours of relief from irritation and discomfort.

Q: Is Benzodent okay to use every day?
A: As with any pain reliever, Benzodent should not be used for extended periods of time. But it can be used any time you have sore spots or inflamation that is caused by or aggravated by dentures, new or old. If pain persists for more than a few days, see your dentist. Your dentist can make adjustments to your dentures to eliminate the cause of irritation.

Q: Why do I get denture sores in the first place?
A: It's not unusual to experience denture sore spots at one time or another. Sore spots are the result of your denture rubbing against soft gum tissue. They are most common during the first few weeks after receiving new dentures, but can occur any time for many reasons.
