Calgel Teething Gel quickly soothes sore gums and reduces discomfort caused by teething. Its pleasant-tasting formula provides fast, cooling relief to help keep your baby calm and comfortable.
Calgel Teething Gel is a clinically tested formula designed to relieve teething pain and gum irritation in babies aged 5 months and over.
It contains two key active ingredients:
Lidocaine hydrochloride – a mild local anaesthetic that gently numbs sore gums.
Cetylpyridinium chloride – an antiseptic that helps prevent infection.
Calgel works within minutes to soothe discomfort, making it easier for your baby to feed, rest, and play comfortably during teething.
You may notice your baby is teething if they show any of these signs:
Red or swollen gums
Flushed cheeks
Increased dribbling
Rubbing their ears
Chewing on objects frequently
Increased irritability or crying
