How Does Calgel Teething Gel Work?

Calgel teething gel is formulated with two active ingredients: lidocaine hydrochloride and cetylpyridinium chloride.

Lidocaine is categorized as a local anesthetic medication. Its mechanism of action involves temporarily obstructing the transmission of pain signals along nerve pathways. When applied to a specific area, lidocaine induces numbness and alleviates pain in that localized region.

On the other hand, cetylpyridinium chloride serves as a mild antiseptic. It possesses the ability to combat a range of bacteria and fungi that could potentially infect any sore or damaged skin within the oral cavity. By preventing infection, it aids in the healing process and guards against further irritation or discomfort.
