Are bad teeth really genetic??

Question

I don’t drink sugary drinks, I brush every surface of my teeth, floss, and use mouth wash everyday. I haven’t had a cavity in probably 10 years. Last time I saw my dentist he even said my teeth look perfect as always. 
Now I’ve heard some people say that their bad teeth are genetic (as in they get tons of cavities) but truly I don’t believe it. I think that they aren’t brushing as well as they think/flossing/using mouthwash/eating to much sugar 
What do you guys think 🤔

Answer

Definitely genetics. Be grateful

Answer

Yes.

Answer

Yes. My whole moms side has very bad teeth genetics. We hardly eat sugar or have sugar food or drinks but everyone one of us on my moms side has very poor teeth. Despite how much we brush or healthy we eat they all just rot quicker then other people.

Answer

It depends. Honestly there are a LOT of reasons why people can have bad teeth. From genetics, diet had a huge impact on how your teeth grow as you age and even how you hold your tongue in your mouth. People dont realize it but diet and tongue/jaw posture really affect your teeth, just like your genetics do. Think about it, what you eat can affect your teeth just as much as what you put onto your skin, like cleansers and moisturizers. But your genetics affect your teeth a lot, just as they would your skin too. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I think it's a combination, however I think diet plays a bigger role than we realize. 
Sugar & malnutrition ruined my teeth, I never had a cavity until I was 27.

Answer

There is definitely a genetic component. I was lucky enough not to inherit my moms crooked teeth but I sadly inherited my dads horrible enamel so even though I brush and floss and see the dentist every 6 months I’ve got insane cavities. My boyfriend on the other hand went 20 years without dental care, he still brushed and floated on his own but no dental visits, and had very few cavities.

Answer

My children’s dentist told me teeth health is only about 30% genetic. The other 70% is what you eat and drink and how well you care for your teeth and gums. I mean he is a dentist, I suppose he could still be wrong though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Yes

Answer

Yes

Answer

I think it’s just the sugar honestly
