hi,
welcome to HCM
As per your query, you are 5 months 1 week pregnant,that means your you are going through 2nd trimester and second trimester is consider to be safe for treatment.
For your wisdom tooth, mean while you can do warm saline gargle which will open your mouth and releif from infection also and can take crocin as it is consider to be safe.
2nd trimester is safe and for that you can get your IOPA x ray/ OPG xray done which will tell you the position of your tooth and according to the report, you can proceed with the treatment.

thank you
