Are teeth whitening toothpastes safe to use while nursing? What toothpaste do you guys use?

post #1 of 6

Seems almost all the toothpastes I see these days have whitening ingredients.  While I wouldn't mind some blindingly white teeth I am concerned about their safety since I am nursing.  What toothpastes and/or mouthwashes do you mamas use?

I use Toms of Maine with fluoride. I'm happy with the ingredient list.

I have an old tube, but i guess I use this one the whitener is silica.

Thanks PatioGardener!  My eleven-year-old dd might also like this because she wants a tooth whitener also and I was concerned about her using them also.  This would be great for her :)

We use Coral White toothpaste.  Flouride-, glycerin-, and aspartame/sucralose-free.  AFAIK, there are no specific whitening agents in it.

I use regular old colgate whitening toothpaste with tartar control. I haven't seen any evidence that whitening toothpaste is problematic for nursing babies--I have no idea what's in it, though.
