Hello Community,
Dentists use curing lights to harden composite material used for tooth fillings or bonding. Once the resin mixture is placed inside the patient's mouth it has to be cured, or hardened like ceramic. This means that a certain type of light must be shone onto the filling in order to harden it and bond it to the tooth. There are two main choices of light that will react with resin composite fillings, according to the American Dental Association. One is ultraviolet light, and the other is visible blue light. Both of these lights, while necessary to harden the fillings, can damage a patient's eyes.
Best Regards,

Goon, you don't say.
Is my eye tooth imperilled by this amazing innovation from yesteryear?
@laughoutlood,
Absolutely. Why do you think you hear people speak of their eye teeth?

I see you've given me something mull over roger.
