Orajel ok to use while pregnant?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sure.: Benzocaine is the main ingredient of orajel; when used within reason (not excessive amounts, nor for too long) it is expected to be safe for use during pregnancy and lactation. Pregnancy category c, no human or animal studies available.

Unknown: Orajel is a pregnancy category c drug, which means that we don’t have any data on its potential problems in humans. Best to consult with a dentist to see what the actual issue is causing your discomfort.
