I am not sure whether I should go to the dentist now, or wait. Can you help me work it out?

I'm pregnant and due in two months. I've had some typical pregnancy gum issues off and on since being pregnant. The last time I went was for a check up and clean quite early in the second trimester. We made a plan for me to go back in the third trimester for another check up and clean, since gum issues often get worse at this point.

Sure enough, third trimester rolls around and my gums are unhappy. They're painful and inflamed and bleed when I floss. But we're in a pandemic now, so I'm not sure what to do.

1. It's currently only possible to attend the dentist for essential visits and I am not sure whether this is essential.
2. I'm taking social distancing seriously, and I'm not sure whether this visit to the dentist is worth the risks.

I have added Savacol mouthwash into my routine for the next couple of weeks in case it helps.
