oral gel

Gum-soothing topical paste

Oral gel is a thick, semi-liquid medication or treatment applied directly inside the mouth.

Teething gels numb sore gums in infants.

Oral gels also treat canker sores, dry mouth, or fungal infections: Apply the oral gel to the affected area twice daily.

The gel consistency helps the medication stay in place rather than washing away with saliva.
