Pregnancy Gingivitis

So I woke up yesterday morning with swollen gums on my upper left side near my wisdom teeth. I suspect it's because I've been laying more on my left side. I've read that Pregnancy Gingivitis is very common especially in the second trimester (I'm 17w4d). Just wondering if there is anything I can do to help reduce the swelling at home? I don't really want to visit a dentist because #1 I fear them since I was a child and #2 it's quite expensive here in Australia. Thanks lovelies xx 😘
