You can get an oral prophylaxis done i.e a scaling from a dentist which is absolutely safe but an opinion and a written consent with your gynaecologist is a must. As of now,use a very soft toothbrush and rinse with lukewarm water and a pinch of salt,you may also use metrogyl DG gel over the gums but again with the consent of your gynaecologist.

Because of hormonal changes it happens its normal called pregnancy induced gingivitis. Visit a dentist and get your oral hygiene check. If needed get a scaling done. After the delivery it will subside
