A member asked:
Will bonjela help my sore gum or nerve?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bonjela: Is a topical anesthetic for relief of pain from canker sores or denture sores. It is not a cure nor is it meant to help tooth nerves. Sore gum yes, sore tooth no. Please see your dentist as bonjela if the sore gum does not go away in 7 days.

Depends on cause: Bonjela is a group of topical anesthetics (not available in us) for mild soft tissue irritation from things like braces, ill fitting dentures, canker sores, etc. The prudent thing to do would be to consult with your dentist to determine the cause of your soreness, and your dentist can then tell you whether a topical anesthetic is the correct solution for your problem.
