Description

Fast-Acting 20% Benzocaine Topical Anesthetic in Seven Patient-Preferred Flavors

Candi-Caine Topical Gel delivers maximum-strength surface anesthesia before injections, scaling and root planing, and it does it without the bitter aftertaste that makes patients wince and pull away. Seven flavors mean anxious and pediatric patients cooperate instead of bracing, and the improved flavor profile reduces salivation so the gel stays where you placed it and works for longer.

Each 1 oz (30 ml) jar is thick and smooth enough to hold its position on tissue, and delivers a high number of applications when used as directed. For practices tired of paying marketplace shipping on every reorder, buy 10 and get 3 free on any flavor.

Key Features and Benefits

  • 20% benzocaine - maximum strength available in an over-the-counter topical anesthetic
  • Seven flavors - Bubble Gum, Cherry, Grape, Mint, Pina Colada, Raspberry and Strawberry
  • No bitter aftertaste - the most common reason patients resist topical application
  • Reduced salivation - improved flavor means patients salivate less, so the anesthetic lasts longer
  • Thick, smooth consistency - stays where it is placed instead of running across the mucosa
  • 1 oz (30 ml) jar - economical per application when applied sparingly with a cotton applicator
  • Minimum 12 months shelf life on every jar shipped

Clinical and Workflow Advantages

  • Pre-injection anesthesia - reduces discomfort at the needle insertion site before infiltration or block
  • Scaling and root planing - surface comfort during hygiene and periodontal therapy
  • Gag reflex control - eases intraoral radiographs, periodontal probing and prosthetic impressions on sensitive patients
  • Ulcers and minor irritations - temporary relief of pain from sores and minor mouth irritations
  • Anxious and pediatric patients - a flavor a patient chooses is a flavor a patient tolerates, which shortens chair time
  • Rubber dam and matrix placement - surface comfort during routine restorative setup

Why Choose Candi-Caine From DentalMarketplace

Marketplace listings advertise a low unit price and add shipping at checkout. Compare the delivered cost instead: the cheapest single jar on a major dental marketplace lands near $13.50 once shipping is applied. Buying direct here removes that gap entirely, and the buy 10, get 3 free offer takes the effective per-jar cost lower again on a stocking order.

DentalMarketplace is a veteran-owned U.S. distributor. Orders ship from a domestic warehouse rather than overseas, every jar carries a minimum 12 months of shelf life, and you are buying from an authorized source rather than a third-party reseller of uncertain provenance.

What's Included

  • One 1 oz (30 ml) jar of Candi-Caine Topical Anesthetic Gel in your selected flavor

Cotton applicators are not included and should be used fresh for each application.

Warranty and Support

Candi-Caine is a consumable product and is not covered by an equipment warranty. Every jar ships with a minimum of 12 months until expiration. If a product arrives damaged or short-dated, contact our support team and we will replace it. Our team is available to help with product selection, volume pricing and reorder scheduling.

Important Safety Information

Candi-Caine Topical Gel contains 20% benzocaine and is intended for professional dental use and for adults and children 2 years of age and older.

  • Do not use in infants or children under 2 years of age.
  • Do not use for teething.
  • Do not use in anyone with a known history of allergy to local anesthetics such as procaine, butacaine, benzocaine or other "caine" anesthetics.
  • Do not use for more than 7 days unless directed by a physician.
  • Use sparingly and no more than four times daily.
  • For oral mucosal use only, as directed by a dentist.

Benzocaine can cause methemoglobinemia, a condition that reduces the amount of oxygen carried in the blood. It can be life-threatening. Symptoms may include pale, grey or blue-tinted skin, lips or nail beds; shortness of breath; fatigue; headache; lightheadedness; or rapid heart rate. Symptoms usually appear within minutes to two hours of application and can occur after one or more uses. If any occur, stop use and seek medical attention immediately.

If symptoms do not improve within 7 days, or if irritation, pain or redness persists or worsens, or if swelling, rash or fever develops, consult a physician promptly.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How strong is Candi-Caine compared with other topical anesthetics?

A: Candi-Caine contains 20% benzocaine, the maximum strength available in an over-the-counter topical anesthetic gel. That is the same active concentration as the leading professional brands.

Q: How long does it take to work?

A: Benzocaine topicals act quickly on surface tissue. Apply a small amount to dried mucosa with a cotton applicator and allow it to sit briefly before proceeding. Drying the tissue first makes a noticeable difference to onset and duration.

Q: Which flavor should I order?

A: All seven flavors share the same 20% benzocaine formulation, so the choice is about patient preference rather than performance. Bubble gum and cherry are popular with pediatric patients; mint is the usual choice for adult practices.

Q: Can Candi-Caine be used on children?

A: Yes, on children 2 years of age and older. It must not be used in infants or children under 2, and it is not indicated for teething. The FDA issued this contraindication for all OTC oral benzocaine products in 2018.

Q: What is methemoglobinemia and how concerned should I be?

A: It is a rare condition in which the blood carries less oxygen than it should, and benzocaine is a known cause. It is uncommon but can be serious. Watch for bluish or grey skin, lips or nail beds, shortness of breath, headache, lightheadedness or rapid heartbeat within two hours of application, and seek medical attention if they appear.

Q: The flavors seem aimed at kids. Is this a pediatric product?

A: The flavors exist to make treatment more comfortable for apprehensive patients of any age, including children 2 and older. They are not an indication for use in infants or for teething.

Q: Does this product carry a California Proposition 65 warning?

A: Yes. California's Proposition 65 requires businesses to disclose exposure to substances the state lists as causing cancer or reproductive harm, and it sets notification thresholds far lower than federal safety limits. The warning is a disclosure requirement, not a finding that the product is unsafe when used as directed by a dental professional. California customers will see this warning at checkout.

Q: Do I need a dental license to order this?

A: Yes. Candi-Caine is a professional topical anesthetic intended for administration by a dental professional, and it is sold to licensed practices only. You will be asked to verify your license before your order ships.

Q: How much shelf life will my order have?

A: Every jar ships with a minimum of 12 months remaining before expiration. Store at room temperature away from direct heat and keep the jar closed between uses.

Q: How many applications are in one jar?

A: A 1 oz (30 ml) jar delivers a high number of applications when used as directed, since each application requires only a small amount on a cotton applicator. Apply sparingly and use a fresh applicator every time to avoid contaminating the jar.
