Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The mosquito repellent can cause some allergic reactions over the mucosa of the oral cavity but not on the teeth. It can result in allergic stomatitis or chemical burn over the oral mucous membrane. If you develop any ulcers or burning sensation, then immediately consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query no it may not be poisionous if you had not taken inside but you do is do warm saline rinses 3 to 4 times and brush your teeth with normal toothpaste and do chlorhexidine mouthwash this time that will be helpful to you .

Hope this will help you.
