Default Questions about recent composite bonding

Hi,
I recently had gap in between my front two teeth slightly made smaller with composite bonding (3mm gap to about 1mm at bottom of teeth and 2mm towards top). I am reasonably happy with whats been done but I have quite a few questions.

*Would it be possible to add slight adjustments in the future to the composite?

*On one of my teeth the composite bonding seems to be added to the bottom corner of my tooth, I was told there would be no grinding of my teeth. Has this composite been put over my tooth or is it likely its been ground down to add the composite.

*I was asked if I smoked (I dont) as composite may stain, Basically what can and cant I eat drink? Such as coffee, sticky foods, hard food etc.

*Also which toothpastes can I use, do I need to a special kind or can I continue using good old mcleans.


Sorry for all the questions, but I totally forgot to ask them while I was there.

Thanks in advance.
