Can you whiten your teeth during pregnancy?
Although a study has not yet concluded that whitening your teeth during pregnancy is harmful to your child, waiting until after the baby is born to whiten your teeth may still be a good idea. The concern is that the chemicals in teeth whitening products could be swallowed during the whitening process and the effects that may have on your baby. Some dentists will encourage you to wait until after pregnancy, and even some teeth whitening produce recommend not to use during pregnancy. However, if whitening your teeth is essential, consult your doctor and a dentist before having your teeth whitened to go about it in the safest way possible.
