Is teeth health also based on genetics??
Question:
Answers:
Color, strength, and alignment of teeth are all genetic. Some people are naturally born with white, straight teeth etc. The strength of the enamel is also genetic. There is a certain defect of the enamel known as "soft teeth", where a person's enamel is very brittle and weak. People with this condition are highly prone to cavities. Of course, "soft teeth" is known as a very extreme case of what many people suffer from, just having weaker enamel than others. I know how you feel, I brush and floss well every day, yet I still get cavities, but on the other hand my older brother eats junk, and barely brushes and NEVER flosses, yet he's only had one cavity.
Hope this helps :D

yes your teeth have do with genetics
maybe good question!
so is your face
yeah its genetics get some mouthwash that strenghtens teeth i use it occasionally and i already notice a difference
excellent question but one thing I know is that some people are more prone to cavities than others...for example I brush, don't eat to much sugar, and take care of my teeth and get cavaties...my brother eats all the junk food twinkies, gatorade, never brushes like 1 time a week and has 0 cavaties...thats 1 thing I know is that some people get cavaties easily others just don't.
Yes, it can be with genetics. That happens to me also, my friends drink/eat a but load of pop, sugar, & candy. But just keeping them clean & healthy will help you out in the long run.
sure
this is really a good question!!
