Dentogel Oral Gel is a local anaesthetic and antiarrhythmic that works by stabilising the neuronal membrane by blocking the voltage gated sodium channels. This inhibits depolarisation of the postsynaptic nerve that prevents transmission of pain signals. Secondly, it blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). It also acts on the hypothalamus heat-regulating centre to reduce fever and blocks the generation of pain impulses.
