Hi, thanks for writing..
Mouth wash can be used in pregnancy.. But it shouldnot be swallowed.. Rinse the mouth thouroughly after using it.. Only intake can cause harm.. Get a checkup with a dentist.. 2nd trimester that is from 13 - 28 weeks is the ideal time in case any tooth repair is required in pregnancy.. So get it treated rather than waiting till late pregnancy.. Hope i have answered your query.. good day..
