    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.

    enjoy life, you should be seeing you dentist each yr/ they can easily polish it for you if it is staining

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