Some people rarely get cavities or have gum disease, even if they have poor oral hygiene habits. Other people, on the other hand, are still getting cavities despite the excellent care of their teeth. Thus, many of you may ask if having bad teeth is hereditary.
The Genetic Factors
It’s like your eye color. The makeup of your teeth is inherited, even your gums. You may inherit your father’s massive jaw, but you can blame your mother for your small teeth. The genetic factors of your tooth shape, size, and jaw size affect how straight your teeth can be. You may also inherit your mom’s softer enamel causing your teeth to be vulnerable to cavities.
You can also blame your genes for having gum disease. But other genetic factors are said to have a more indirect effect. These factors include your preference for sweet foods, acid reflux, and behavioral tendencies. All of these can be inherited, leading to poor oral hygiene, which can ultimately damage your teeth.
Greater Predictor of Tooth Health
Although having bad teeth may indeed be inherited, you should still practice excellent oral hygiene as it’s a more significant predictor of your tooth’s health. Your diet and behavioral factors, as well as oral hygiene habits, are key predictors of having healthy teeth or rotten teeth.
If you neglected dental care when you were young, it could lead to tooth and gum problems. While your teeth develop, you need to eat calcium-rich foods to ensure that your teeth will become more vital and less vulnerable to cavities.
It would be best if you also remembered that your bad habits could affect the development of your teeth. These bad habits include thumb-sucking, using your pearly whites to open packages or sucking pen caps, or chewing on ice can cause your tooth to chip or crack.
Of course, if you avoid your bi-yearly dental appointments, you’re more likely to catch teeth problems. Then, if you smoke, you may experience gum disease and tooth decay. And if you consume excessive sugary or acidic drinks or foods, you’re more likely to suffer from weak enamel and sensitivity to cold and hot food.
Despite those genetic factors, you must still follow proper oral hygiene habits as they remain the most significant predictor of your teeth health.
