Right now I'm pretty sure I have a form of periodontitis. I'm also pregnant and I haven't seen a dentist in a few years. I have no dental insurance, but I did talk to a dentists office that said something about AmeriPlan dental and they got me interested in them. Anyways, I'm confused as to where to start. I know if I have periodontitis, my dentist will refer me to a periodontist, so I'm worried about signing up for the Ameriplan if they won't even take it. Where should I start? Should I get a consultation visit with a dentist or a periodontist?

Start off by seeing a general dentist first. Unless your gum problems are very advanced and severe, they will not refer you to a periodontist. Most gum treatment can be handled in your family dentist's office. It will also be less expensive if a specialist isn't needed. good luck.
