neutral  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): not wrong, but fairly colloquial - and Jonathan is searching for a term to be used in a "Fachinformation" (SmPC)

  -> Hm, it´s rather a matter of marketing than science imho - (dental) analgesic ("oral" to signify the administration of a tablet) sounds sound to me. If "tablets" is main focus though your second option "dental pain relief tablets" has to be preferred.
