Swollen Gums

Swollen gums, or gingivitis, can be caused by malnutrition, allergic reactions to toothpastes or mouthwashes, badly-fitting dentures, or by infections. If they are not treated, you might end up with periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is associated with heart disease and some kinds of cancer.

My wife is 7 months pregnant and she has swollen teeth. We are not sure whether to go to a dentist or just sit on it during the pregnancy period. As the dental plan in Canada is not covered by the Government, the dentists in Canada tend to make a big deal out of nothing, as they get paid more. So we prefer not to go to the dentist if we do not have to.
Can anyone suggest what we should do at this moment?
