What is codeine?
Codeine is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.
Codeine is used to treat mild to moderately severe pain.
Codeine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

I have just had my braces removed and, although it is never a bad thing to want your teeth to look good - after all, that is what your braces are for - I would, personally, find it a waste of money until your braces are taken off. It is time-consuming enough to clean your teeth with the braces on, never mind the extra work you'll have to put in to reap the benefits of having your teeth whitened. As with a previous answer, a Waterpik works wonders for looking after you teeth. Especially for someone with braces. Trust me, the time it takes to straighten your teeth will whoosh by. It will be worth waiting for. You may even find that you'll accept the look of your newly-straightened teeth and not feel the need for whitening. Or, you could go the opposite way and go 'all out' and treat your teeth, LOL.

It would be "safe" as long as you have a driver or know your own reaction to the med, but you would make out better taking ibuprofen 400-600 mg. This will reduce the inflammatory response to the cleaning and it will keep you comfortable longer. I know this from experience with my patients. I recommend this prior to wisdom tooth extractions routinely.
Acetaminophen will increase bleeding times, true, but taking one pill will have zero effect on the bleeding time. This is only a problem with long-term use.

My dentist actually recommended it to me. Well, not codeine pills, but she said that if I take Tylenol or Advil before coming to the dentist, the dental work might hurt a little less.

My ex mother in law used to have to take medication prescribed by the dentist before teeth cleanings because it was so painful. She had some kind of gum problem. As the dentist. He may call in a RX for you. BUT make sure you have someone to drive you to your appointment.

It would be safe, altho I'd agree with an above post that Nurofen (ibuprofen) is a better anti-inflammatory painkiller.
However, in scaling it's going to be the tooth sensitivity (not extraction pain) that'll hurt most. It might be better to smear Sensodyne on your teeth before going to bed, and let it dissipate during the night. One of my staff uses her bleaching mouthguard with Sensodyne in this manner the night before she tops up her bleaching.
