Did xray on teeth during pregnancy

My daughter and I went to the dentist for filling. Dentist did a quick xray on my daughter's teeth and I was in the room (it was an open room). For me I forgot to mention that I'm 22 weeks pregnant, she did a quick xray on one tooth. After I told her about my pregnancy, she regretted it and asked to tell me next time and with this xray nothing will happen. There was no apron used during xray. Now I'm scared whether it will be for the fetus.

Trauma on roof of mouth

Dear Doctor, Something pricked the inside of my mouth on July 2nd. Three days later, it turned into a wound-like sore. Even now, five days later, it hasn't healed. It hurts when I eat or press against it with my tongue, though there is no pain or bleeding otherwise. Please suggest a treatment; I am worried.

Why is this gum so red and wound like

Around my bottom teeth. This gum looks bigger than it did a month ago. It's also swollen red. It has been like this for years but this is the first time I have noticed it has gotten bigger and more red. I will attach a photo. I did some research and no one has a specific gum this red, maybe swollen but the only one I notice red is mine. Can I please have some advice.
