If it's an emergency then yes. Dentistry has come a long way now. Your dentist needs approval from your gynecologist to take an x-ray. They will place a double lead shield to minimize secondary radiation (which is negligible to begin with).
If antibiotics are needed your gynecologist will be consulted weather OK to prescribe those. If treatment is needed then safe or non-epinephrine containing anesthesia might be used. The procedure itself should be harmless.
