No good studies have been done on teeth whiteners that definitively say whether they're safe to use if you're expecting. And some makers of whitening products do caution against using them during pregnancy. Some dentists also encourage waiting until after pregnancy to get your teeth whitened, whereas others say the procedures are safe. The concern is primarily about the chemicals used in teeth-whitening products, which could be swallowed, and their potential effect on a fetus.
Talk to your doctor or dentist before plunking down the cash on whitening products. If you'd rather wait until after your pregnancy to try to make your teeth pearly white, simply brush regularly with whitening toothpaste, which may give your smile a little extra kick.
