My wife has a sneaky cavity that started in between two teeth and hollowed one of them out nearly completely before causing more than a dull ache. Then, almost overnight, all hell broke loose and she was in absolute agony. Eugenol (clove oil) doesn't agree with her at all, but we needed something quick, so I picked this up expecting something similar to oragel in terms of performance - ie to make it bearable as long as you reapply it often.I myself have multiple teeth in states of severe decay, with exposed nerves, because I had some pretty bad experiences with dentists when I was younger and I have a fairly high pain tolerance. Up until recently, I used eugenol myself to help with these, but I heard you shouldn't use eugenol near exposed nerves, it hasn't been helping all that much at this stage anyways, and frankly eugenol is unpleasant enough to use that I just couldn't stand doing so as frequently, so since we'd ordered this stuff for my wife already, I decided to try it.For both of us, this stuff worked amazingly well.* It's got a surprisingly pleasant taste, similar to the artificial flavoring they use in candy. No "medicine-y" taste that I noticed.* the consistency is somewhere between gel and softened wax. It melts away when it touches saliva, but holds long enough to largely get it where you need relief without numbing half of your face like other less viscous products.* The relief is immediate, and long lasting. I decided to write this review after accidentally biting down on a piece of food with one of my bad teeth and using a tiny bit of Huricaine to go from "eye watering pain" to perfectly fine instantly. It's been half an hour, and the pain hasn't come back. Amazing!* A jar of this stuff lasts longer than I expected. We've had this jar for about two months, and depsite frequent use still have tons left. It's just the right size to fit in the medicine cabinet, too.Side note: I picked up a set of dental tools here on Amazon that included a dental spade meant for levelling fillings. I use that tool to scoop out a small bit of Hurricaine to avoid contaminating the bottle itself with a finger or get cotton fibers in it from swabs. This stuff sticks to the tool very well, making it easy and almost completely mess free to apply. Read more

I have a broken tooth, with the exposed nerves, and needed something to numb the constant pain while waiting for my insurance to pre-authorized my procedure. This stuff does the trick. Lasts longer than the name brand store gels. This is what the dentist uses to numb your gums prior to administering novacaine. Thumbs up Read more

Where the heck has this been all my life??? I am terrified of dentists and my teeth paid the price. I always had a couple things of KANKA on hand to deal with pain, but it was pricey and you don't get a lot in the tubes with the brush. So I did a little digging and found HURrICAINE and it changed my life, numbs FAST tastes greatand lasts a long time. I used to wake up in themiddle of the night with a throbbing toothache, But after applying Hurricaine I have been pain free for 2 whole days. Read more

I have two wisdom teeth poking through my gums and the pain radiates through the entire left side of my face. I got this for relief until I can’t get them removed. This stuff works immediately and effectively, so much so that I was drooling from the side of my mouth that it was on lol. Definitely use a q tip to apply it because it will numb your finger as well. Fantastic product. Read more
