Can you bleach your teeth with the dentist trays when pregnant.?

My wife is 5 months pregnant and wants to bleach her teeth overnight with the dentist trays. Is that safe?????????????

Can you bleach your teeth with the dentist trays when pregnant.?
I%26#039;m breastfeeding and was advised not to use whitening strips when I posed the question to my doctor. Some argue that there is not enough evidence to confirm that it can cause harm during pregnancy or breastfeeding, BUT there is equally, no evidence to prove that it is safe.





Is waiting 5 more months really such a big deal that she%26#039;d be willing to compromise her baby%26#039;s health for the rest of his/her life... I don%26#039;t think so. She loves her baby. Why take the risk before it%26#039;s proven to be safe? She should wait 5 months until she delivers her child. It%26#039;s not that critical :o)
Reply:You%26#039;ll have a very white baby.
Reply:They don%26#039;t advise it because there has not been enough research to prove whether it is safe or not. I wouldn%26#039;t do it, just to be on the safe side.
Reply:Teeth whitening is not recommended in pregnant or lactating women. I would suggest contacting the American Dental Association for more information at publicinfo@ada.org. I%26#039;ve found them to be very helpful with these kinds of questions.
