**What is it?** Calgel is a teething gel used for babies over three months old and toddlers. It is similar to Bonjela, but made by the same company who make Calpol and Calprofen (branded paracetemol and ibuprofen). Calgel works by numbing the gums and providing relief from itchy, painful and sore gums caused by teeth breaking though the skin. **Price and Availability** It is very easy to get hold of Calgel, I have been able to buy it in all larger supermarkets, chain chemists like Boots, Superdrug and Lloyds, independent pharmacies and baby shops and online at retailers including Amazon. The price varies however you ...  Read the complete review

My 7 month old baby son has reached the stage of his development where new and exciting things are starting to happen for him; he can hold his own head up now, his neck is strong, he's discovering new flavours and textures of food whilst being weaned and he's attempting to turn over onto his stomach ready to begin crawling. All positive and good steps forward in his development and things that I enjoy being part of, however he's also at the age now where the dreaded teething has started to kick in more than it was doing before and any parent who has gone through this stage of development with their own children will no doubt know, it's not very nice for all ...  Read the complete review

In the last few weeks Jayden has been suffering a bit with his gums, he has got various teethers in the forms of different toys but on some occasions these do not seem to be enough so I decided to have a look around to see what types of gels were on the market that could help to sooth his sore gums. I spotted the Calgel Teething Gel whilst out shopping one day, I use Calpol for Jayden when he is not feeling 100% and have been pleased with it so I decided that the Calgel would be ideal for what I was looking for. Packaging The Calgel Teething Gel comes in a long thin pale blue box, it has the name Calgel in the corner of it with the words Teething Gel ...  Read the complete review

A few months back my son seemed to suddenly be quite run down and was picking up bug after bug from school. One day he said his mouth felt sore and on closer inspection I spotted a mouth ulcer and presumed it was because he was a tad run down so went to the chemist on the way home from school to see if I could get some bonjela to pop on it. The pharmacist told me that bonjela wasn't suitable for children and instead gave me some calgel teething gel which I had used in the past when he was teething many moons ago so decided to give it a go. The calgel comes in a thin blue cardboard box which features a picture of a smiling baby and we are told that the ...  Read the complete review

I used Calgel on my son when teething was the bane of all of our lives(!) when he was between the ages of 5 months and 24 months (although you can use the gel from 3 months onwards). The Calgel can be bought from Boots in a 10g tube for the very reasonable price of £1.99. The Calgel contains two active ingredients who have a duel function to treat the symptoms associated with teething. One of the ingredients is Lidocaine Hydrochloride which is a local anaesthetic which works to block the pain pathway so that the associated pain in the gums is numbed. This is a tried and tested local anaesthetic which has been used safely and effectively for many ...  Read the complete review
