Eugenol toothache drops safe for pregnant

Eugenol toothache drops should not be used during pregnancy without advice from the product prescriber, dentist, or maternity clinician.

Eugenol is an aromatic compound found in clove oil and some dental pain products. Risk depends on the formulation, concentration, amount, route of exposure, swallowed product, allergies, and the pregnancy history.

Do not place concentrated oil on the gum or swallow drops. Rinse the mouth if a product irritates the tissue, keep the label available, and use only pain relief specifically confirmed for you by a clinician.

Arrange dental care for tooth pain in pregnancy, especially with swelling, fever, a bad taste, trouble opening the mouth, or difficulty swallowing.

What are the active ingredients and concentration, could any amount be swallowed, and what pain-relief or dental treatment is appropriate at my stage of pregnancy?
