Gum swelling is common in pregnancy.
It occurs due to hormonal disturbances. Donot panic.
As your tell u have pain in one teeth.... Get a checkup done. If there's a cavity or something....u can get the filling done or atleast the cavity removed.
If the cavity is deep.... Wait if the pain is bearable otherwise take a gynecologist consent and proceed with the treatment.
For gum pain you can use stolens gum paint or dologel if it's severe
Next Steps
get a dental checkup done.
don't worry
