Weird jaw/gum/nose pain

Ok weird question. Anyone experienced anything like this?

About three days ago, I randomly got pain in my gums. It's quite mild but really annoying. It runs along the full top and lower gum on one side of my face. The nostril on the same side is also really sore inside.

It's SO weird. It's not toothache, it's definitely in the gums/jaw.

I keep hoping it'll just go away but it doesn't seem to be. I'm thinking it might be pregnancy related as I know increased blood flow can cause bleeding gums and nose? It's all on the same side of my face, so seems connected. I'm not getting bleeding gums though, just sore. It's hard to describe. Perhaps how it might feel if you woke up after clenching your jaw all night? Or like the teeth are shifting, even though they are rock solid.

I can eat without problem. It doesn't hurt if I press the gum (my nose hurts though) and I actually get a bit of relief after brushing my teeth Confused

I'm not sure whether to leave it a bit, or go and see a dentist (or maybe doctor - maybe there's an infection that needs antibiotics?).

Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this linked to their pregnancy?

Having googled it, I'm suspecting possibly maxillary sinusitis Confused. Anyone know if this would be for the doctor or the dentist?!
