Hello,
The type of pain in the tooth you are mentioning with swollen gums it means that there is an infection in the tooth you should visit your dentist for the treatment of infection because without that the pain will not be relieved.
If you are 35 weeks pregnant then right now initial treatments can be done but with precautions.
Hope it will help you.
