Teeth whitening while pregnant - is that possible or not? If you are pregnant and considering teeth whitening, it is essential to be well informed about safety.
Is teeth whitening safe when you are pregnant?
Pregnancy is a time when you have to be extra careful about what you put into your body. Products to whiten your teeth can also pose a risk, but not everything is harmful. There is no direct evidence that teeth whitening products are harmful, but dentists recommend against whitening treatments during pregnancy. This is because the safety of whitening products, especially those containing hydrogen peroxide, for the developing baby has not been fully established.
Consider the following:
- Chemicals - many products contain chemicals that could potentially be harmful to the baby.
- Gum sensitivity – during pregnancy the gums are more sensitive, which can make teeth whitening products uncomfortable.
- Advice from professionals - it is always best to ask your dentist or dental hygienist for advice before considering teeth whitening treatment during pregnancy.
What is important to do during pregnancy?
