Teeth Whitening During Pregnancy?

Okay so ive looked up online if this is
safe and pretty much everything says they
dont have enough research/evidence to know
for sure...But the nurse at the doc.
Office said it was fine. I was going to
use crest whitestrips but I do not want to
harm my baby...So I was wondering if
anyone has whitened their teeth during
pregnancy or what their doctors advised?

S.T.A.Y .A.W.A.Y!!!! My mom is a dental
hygientist and it is highly recommended
that you stay away from them while
pregnant. I'm sure your ob/gyn has their
own safety tips for what you can and
cannot do..So it really all depends on
them. But from a dental aspect it's
better to just wait until you've had the
baby. The strips are mainly hydrogen
peroxide and flouride, but too much of
anything in excess is bad for baby. If
you want to do it maybe once a week, as
opposed to twice a day, then that's an
option. It's similar to tanning beds,
once every two weeks is ok, but not every
day. Same with hair coloring, once a
month is fine, but again, not every
2weeks.
Anyways, if you want to do it, i'd suggest
about once a week, which sucks because you
won't get the full benefit of the strip.
So i'd wait. I have the platinum strips
patiently waiting for me in the
refigerator!!
Good .Luck!!

Oh that sucks. I am uber lazy when it
comes to brushing my teeth lol and theyre
getting kinda yellow. I dont think they
would even work if I did it once a week.
What are the platinum kind?

they're just like a step above the regular
kind...Have you ever seen the commercial
where the girl's asking if she saw .Cher
in concert alone or was she with .Sonny??
Lol...
I think they're just a little more
potent....And expensive...But my moms gets
em for free...We have a $250 incredibly
toothbrush and I still use my regular
one...It's the sonicare toothbrush that
spits special toothpaste out of the
head... She got that plus 4 boxes of the
special toothpaste and 3 heads for
free...The perks of being in the dentistry
field!!!
I have .Veneers...(the porcelin that the
celebs. Get.) instead of them being
$1,000 a tooth, we got em for $500 and I
got my front 4 teeth done...They're
beautiful!!!

I was wondering about veneers...Are they
just something you slip over your own
teeth and then take them off at night?

naah. Your teeth have to be ground down a
little and they cement them on. The only
painful part was the shot right in the
front of the mouth. I was doped up on
.Nitrus and I still felt it like a
motha!!! Lol....But they're beautiful!!!!
People ask me how I got my teeth so damn
white (i used to be a smoker) and I tell
them it's veneers and they all want
em...But they're waaay expensive...
If my mom wasn't in the field she's in...I
wouldn't have gotten em...Tooo omuch
money!!
