If it's not causing you problems, and the dentist said it looks ok on examination and on x-ray, then it's ok to leave it alone. The canines are typically a little darker than the teeth next to them.

IF you're a candidate, you will most certainly have better results with professional whitening. You risk extreme sensitivity with professional whitening, other than that, it's safe.

You could have a sensitivity to cinnamon or mint, inform your dentist of the occurrences to make sure it is nothing else.

A fistula is not normal and should have been dealt with at your earlier appointment. The surgery does have a good chance of being successful. Good luck.
