Hello ma'am and welcome.
Amoxicillin is averagely safe to be taken during pregnancy, but your dental procedure should have been done later as you are already 36 weeks. Anyway, please inform your doctor about all medications you are prescribed before taking them. Amoxicillin will only help prevent infections, and the pain will not be controlled with the help of this medication either way.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
