A member asked:

Im in early pregnancy, not sure how far but definitely not 12 weeks yet, can i use my non-peroxide teeth whitening kit?

Non-peroxide whiten: If the solution came from your dentist, it most probably is safe. If it is a carbomide peroxide gel, again it is probably safe. If it is something else, I have no idea what it is and would not recommend using it. Check with your dentist to be sure.

Not really...: The american pregnancy association recommends waiting to have teeth whitening done until after you have given birth. Although there is no data that shows that the procedure isn't safe during pregnancy, risks may exist. Waiting until you have given birth can help reduce the risk of complications or birth defects if they are caused by teeth whitening. Regardless of ingredients.

No: None of the bleaching systems have been cleared for use on pregnant mothers. Personally, i don't know what would make them unsafe, but it seems that forgoing bleaching for 9 months shouldn't be that difficult. If you do bleach, maybe baby will be born with hollywood white choppers.
