Yes, definitely see your dentist.  You can get an abscessed tooth which is dangerous (infection way to close to the brain).  It's hard going to the dentist though, I know, when pregnant.  I tried to have my teeth cleaned and every time they put in the equipment, mirror, tool, etc. I started gagging.  They finally told me to brush well, floss and rinse with a cleaning mouth wash and to come back to be officially cleaned after I had the baby.  Ugh.  

So, I know it can be hard but if you are in pain, you have to see your dentist.  they will advise you on what is best.  good luck hon
