Orajel contains benzocaine, a topical anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in the area where it is applied. The oral mucosa in the mouth has a different sensitivity and absorption rate than the skin on your finger, allowing benzocaine to penetrate effectively and induce numbness in the mouth. Additionally, the mouth has a rich blood supply, which can enhance the drug's effects, whereas the skin on your finger may not absorb it as efficiently. Therefore, while Orajel effectively numbs the mouth, it may not provide the same effect on other areas like the finger.
