Teeth Whitening Q&A

I'd like to know if there's anything I should avoid eating/doing after my whitening treatment.

Good day, I have 2 questions regarding blue UV light used during my teeth whitening procedure: *I accidentally looked at the blue UV light for an instant through the gap in the glasses I was wearing as the provider put the device in my mouth - could this have damaged my eyes? *can the UV cause cancer in my mouth/lips? I had three 15 minute sessions during the procedure. Thank you

Good day, I would like to know if chemical burns as a result of in office teeth whitening can result in oral cancer? Thank you

I had my braces removed and a lingual retainer was placed on the back of my teeth. My top 2 front teeth appear darker from the middle of each tooth downward and I can't figure out if it's from my ortho removing too much of my enamel where the brackets were or if it's a shadow of the lingual retainer/glue behind my teeth. I'm really embarrassed to smile now and was wondering if Icon Resin Infiltration could help reduce this or would bonding be better.

My teeth are mildly sensitive to hot and cold, would I need to take precautions before treatment?

Just for clarification: I am not the most disciplined when it comes to teeth hygiene but I want to change that. My lower teeth are more stained than the upper ones and have some plaque buildup which I will also be getting removed. My only concern is that I wont be able to whiten my teeth up to a certain level. Ideally I would like to get a B1 shade(brightest and whitest shade). Im willing to undergo multiple in clinic procedures aswell as use whitening strips. Is it achievable or unrealistic?

What can be done to fix the discoloration of my front teeth?

Ive been to the dentist lately to have a couple of cavities filled and a cleaning so this is not tarter and he doesnt mention anything about the discoloration of my teeth. Do I need some kind of cosmetic dentistry for this or is there something my actual dentist can do?

I am looking for a dental procedure for whiter teeth that coats my teeth and doesnt bleach or damage my enamel. I heard about permanent tooth paint but cannot seem to find anywhere that does it. Is this an alternative to veneers ?

I got this colouring due to water I drank in Zimbabwe as a child and I have a gap inbetween my front teeth. I also hate the shape of them altogether. I am considering getting crowns or having them removed or something. I don't know what to get honestly, please help me
