There's no reason you can't take a shower, it is not at all related to your treatment.
Next Steps
Please follow up with your dentist about whether to continue the betadine rinses, since it has been 30 days already.

Brush and floss everyday. Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent gum infection from recurring in the future.
