Yes, the material is non caustic and causes no harmful effects. Maintain good oral hygiene during your pregnancy, it's beneficial for you and your baby.

Temporary filling material is non-toxic and will have no effect on your baby.

The temporary filling material will pass uneventfully through your GI tract with no harm to either you or your baby. Congratulations, by the way. It is very important, however, to see your Dentist to have the affected tooth attended to so as to prevent infection which, in turn, can produce harm.
