This is a common occurrence during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.  please visit a dentist to ascertain  if you need cleaning of teeth or not.  Also you can do some Luke warm salt water gargles to give you some relief from pain. Listerine won't help you in relieving pain.

This is common in pregnancy due to hormonal changes. It's better to visit a dentist and get scaling done. If not done this may worsen post delivery
