Gum disease, cavities, or crooked teeth might seem to run in families. You can reduce inherited risk factors through dental hygiene and by getting expert care from your dentist.

- Genetics affect dental enamel formation, and a weak enamel makes you vulnerable to disease.
- Bacteria causing tooth decay could be passed on to children through shared utensils, but diet and oral health care will be a more significant factor.
