Crest White Strips while Pregnant?

I would skip it. I asked the dentist last time I was there and they recommended waiting...but I haven't done any online research or anything to see if there are other opinions out there.

I just remembered about a tip I read for whiter teeth; it involved crushing up a strawberry with some ?baking soda? and spreading it on the teeth as a paste for five minutes. Sorry, but I can't remember if the baking soda part is right. Anyway, it's supposed to whiten the teeth and sure sounds more baby-friendly than peroxide. Maybe you could google it?

I have no idea whether it's safe during pregnancy.

However, do you know if you have really good enamel on your teeth?
All those whitening strips do is basically take off a layer of enamel off your teeth - which is not good for someone like me who has crappy teeth and soft enamel. Unless they've somehow changed their chemicals or the whole process or something.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone!

I guess I'll wait. I am getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist next month. That should help me feel better. I called today to set up the appointment and the recpetionist asked when I was last in. I said, "About two years ago." she went to find my chart, and when she came back she said, "Uh, you were last here in 2000!" OH MY GOD!!!!! Six years?!?!?!?! No I feel so gross, I just want my teeth to feel as clean as possible. But it's not worth doing any damage to the baby!

Thanks again . . .
