Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that sore gums during pregnancy is not an abnormal finding and many a times sore, inflamed and swollen gums are seen during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and high levels of pregnancy hormones..

In case if there is infection and deposits over teeth and gums it can further exaggerate the condition and cause pain and discomfort..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to do cool compresses over the gums..
You can do warm saline implants..
Continue taking Tylenol for pain..
Do gentle massage over the gums with fingers..
In case of there is deposits over the teeth and gums Scaling can be done to resolve the infection and reduce pain..
A short course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin can be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
