Tooth and Mouth Problems

Why do dentists use composite over amalgam? The average lifespan of composite is 7-8 years while amalgam is 15 years which is nearly double. Plus amalgam has 40-50 years of longevity in many cases and can withstand chewing forces much better than composites. Although there is a debate regarding mercury content in amalgam but even the ADA and dental council of india hasn't prohibited it from using and usually inert in nature . Composites also have BPA which is cancer-causing. And why is gold getting so out of fashion and dentists do not practice gold inlays/ onlays?

From yesterday my tooth is swelling, i took medicines still it increases. Please give a suggestions

My father had angioplasty 2 years ago.Now he is suffering from toothache.His molar tooth is affected.He was suffering from toothache 1 month ago but it lasted for a week then disappeared. But from yesterday night the toothache returned.If tooth extraction needed then he needs to stop blood thinner.But his cardiologist suggested not to stop blood thinner more than 2 or 3 days as he had TVCAD ( Really severe blockage) and he also told him to continue aspirin daily.Now what should he do if tooth extraction needed?

I brush twice a day morning and night I work for night shift work out every day But still have foul smell

Please refer to picture! I have this subconscious chronic cheek biting since more than 2 yrs ! I have shown myself to many dentists, unfortunately no one was able to help ! I have got my third molar extracted, iam regular with scaling polishing and other dental hygienes, there is no sharp edge or tooth creating possible injury , iam also on top of my dental procedures, so there isn't any chance of anything going unnoticed.. i've got many xrays/ opgs etc ! Even used a mouth gaurd ! But nothing could help me so far! I get this weird irritation trigger anytime during the day and i start gnawing/ chewing this fav spot in my cheeks.. it occurs anytime ( no particular trigger) i apply some gel on it and it goes off in sometime.. than for some days i feel okay and then again boom ! Iam sick and tired of this.. what do u think i shud do? Dentists say there isn't any cause ! Then why such chronic cheek consicous behaviour? Like u can see in picture.. the linea alba gets raised, red !

Sir, I have been talking multivitamins of gen c company...I searched a bit on internet and found out this might be the cause.how can I get rid of black marks and stop it frm forming. Also I have been using close up tooth paste.if u can prescribe a better tooth paste that will be better. Ps. I have attached the pic..the marks are mostly on the front teeth. Thank you 🙏🏻😊

Need help in making a decision. Went for a teeth cleaning( he didnt clean the surface of the molars properly) and dr. said that I need filling on 2 first  upper molars. He suggested I do Xray for wisdom tooth impaction. The Xray showed an impacted wisdom tooth which I removed a week later. But in the Xray no molar cavity was found yet on my tooth I could see black spots with no sensitivity at all. Should I go for filling(if yes then what kind amalgam/composite)as the dentist suggested or should I wait since the cavity is small and chances are there to remineralise it?

I have been suffering from night time bruxism since last 1 yr or so . Are there any treatments to cure this problem . Will mouthguards help me with this ? Suggest if any.
