Can Pregnant Women Use Teeth Whitening Devices?

Pregnant women are not allowed to use teeth whitening devices to avoid causing mild uterine contractions and affecting the growth and development of the fetus. Teeth whitening devices are beauty appliances that can remove the pigmentation on the surface of the teeth and achieve a whitening effect. During pregnancy, the body's resistance of pregnant women is relatively poor. Using teeth whitening devices may cause pain on the surface of the teeth, and may even stimulate the dental nerve tissue, indirectly leading to abnormal uterine contractions, which generally causes mild abdominal pain, a small amount of vaginal bleeding, and other symptoms, which require attention. Especially for pregnant women with poor physical fitness, it is recommended to avoid using teeth whitening devices. In daily life, they can use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste with anti-inflammatory effects to brush their teeth, which can prevent tooth diseases. If any discomfort occurs after accidentally using a teeth whitening device, it is necessary to stop using it immediately and seek medical treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and not put too much pressure on oneself. At the same time, more attention should be paid to the physical growth and development of the fetus. If there are signs of threatened abortion, drugs such as progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets, and Baotai pills can be taken orally under a doctor's advice to achieve the effect of protecting the fetus.
