People often say, "My teeth have always been bad, and my parents have poor teeth, they are genetic."

I would like to explain to you the relationship between teeth and genetics. Let me tell you the conclusion first. The relationship between tooth decay and genetics is very small and can be ignored.

tooth decay (hereinafter referred to as caries ) is only related to four factors, namely host, bacteria, time, and food. First of all, host and bacteria are not something we can interfere with. What we can intervene is time and food. The favorite foods of bacteria are sucrose and fructose . The longer these two foods stay on the tooth surface, the faster the caries

So why do so many people think that caries are related to genetics?
Because caries do gather in a family, parents are prone to tooth decay, and children are prone to tooth decay. Parents are not prone to tooth decay, and children are often not prone to tooth decay. The underlying reason for
is that the foods eaten by people in the same family are almost the same, because only parents cook. If the taste of the dish is sweet, then all foods will have more sugar.
(2) The oral hygiene habits are the same. Children all obtain their own oral hygiene habits through parents' education. If parents brush their teeth casually, it will be over in thirty seconds, and then the children only brush for thirty seconds. Children think this is right. I brush my teeth, I am very serious, brushing my teeth every day

, and the decay appears. The reason for family aggregation is just that eating habits are very similar to oral hygiene habits, and it does not involve the genetic level

, but some people will encounter such a situation. One day when you go to treat your teeth, the doctor told you that your teeth are brittle and fall off as soon as you touch them, or your teeth are very strong, and car needle is blunt and only a little bit
This situation only shows that the texture of the teeth is different, that is, teeth with poor texture are more likely to be decay than others, and teeth with good texture are more difficult to decay, just like logging, The texture of the trees is brittle and can easily break. Some trees are hard and difficult to cut off. However, no matter how hard the trees are, they will break as long as they take a long time,
The texture of the teeth has little relationship with tooth decay, because no matter how crisp the tooth decay is, as long as you have good oral hygiene habits, you can avoid tooth decay. Even if the teeth are brittle and poor in texture, it is enough in life to cope with all the chewing in life. It is like a tree. The wood itself is light and soft, such as maple poplar, but as long as you don’t cut it down, it can grow healthily

Many times dentists When I heard this sentence: "Doctor, my tooth decay is hereditary, and my family's teeth are not good." In fact, the doctor wants to laugh in his heart, because he can make the oral hygiene poor. He doesn't like to brush his teeth so fresh and refined, and it is still worthy of admiration. Hahaha, sometimes when the doctor is not busy, he will explain: "It has nothing to do with heredity, mainly because you don't pay attention to oral hygiene. The teeth given to you by your parents are the best. It's not genetic. You can't blame your parents for your parents." Sometimes, if the doctor is busy or lazy to explain, he will smile hahahaha
