What is the Goal?: Need more information to properly answer the question. Are you saying you want something to help with mild gum pain for a very short period of time? If so, yes.

Pain Relief: Lidocaine jelly is a topical anesthetic. Tooth pain is usually a deeper inflamatory response. So my advise would be to see a dentist or visit a dental clinic for treatment. I think advil (ibuprofen) would probably give you more pain relief than the jelly.

Be careful: Taking too much topical anesthetic by mouth can be not only upsetting to your stomach, but dangerous. It would be best to seek evaluation and treatment rather than repeatedly placing topical meds on it.

Gum not dental: Works for gum, not dental. If dental, see dentist for treating cause.
