part of me wants to say yes. because I am curious like that but the other part of me has watch way to mean scary movies and kind of know when it say don't press it means don't press for a reason lol. beside Orajel. if you have had a gum or tooth issue before beside that stuff. What have you use that has help. I am having a issue with one of my teeth that they have to pull and Orajel doesn't really help me and the last time I had a issue I cause my self to have a serizure because i use water as mouth wash and rank it to make the pain nerve stop and did that for 36 hours and no eat and it lower my sodium level and yeah serizure that cause me to crash my hip bone that doctors had to put back together like a puzzle. their words, my mom words not mine lol
