Toothache: Benzocaine, active ingredient in Dentek, is safe to apply on tooth during pregnancy.

Toothache relief: Tylenol is safe to use in pregnancy. Dentak with benzocaine is a temporary measure for pain relief. Benzocaine seems to be the major ingredient and is also safe for use in pregnancy. However, the most important thing is getting to a dentist for proper care

Symptom v cause: The cause of your toothache is probably infection and/or fracture. Pain killers will temporarily mask symptoms as infection spreads; not good for you or your baby. For cure you have to see a Dentist, now.
