Has anyone else tried Orajel (or the generic) to numb the pain in your mouth? I find this works when it is spiking and numbing helps me to be able to eat. I've been treated with gabapentin and also Kepra and both make me really clumsy and brain dead. I can't think or function on them.

A warm rice filled bag will help soothe the pain but not practical all the time.
