Could Swallowing Of Etching Fluid During Pregnancy Be Dangerous?

hi just had a root canal done today, I am 23 weeks pregnant. Dentist removed the dental dam to do the finishing touched but I accidentally swallowed some of the etching fluid when they failed to suction it out fast enough. Is this dangerous to the baby?
