The crucial role of Genetics in dental health


Posted on 9/25/2023 by Janie Scholes
The crucial role of Genetics in dental healthGenetics play a major role in dental health. Brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are important for your dental health, however, there is a high relation between your genes and dental health issues. Genetics can impact your dental health in several ways, some are listed below.

Hereditary selections


The natural selection of genetic variables can have an impact on a person's dental health. These include tooth shape and size, jaw symmetry, and predisposition to dental conditions. Genetic variations result in irregularities and tooth impairment, missing or malformed teeth. The dental enamel and the saliva work together to combat microorganisms and bacteria. People with genetic issues may be at threat of tooth decay and gingivitis.

Hereditary diseases


Dental situations that include amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and ectodermal dysplasia, are inherited from parents. They modify the shape and size of the children's teeth. This may additionally culminate into teeth problems and increase the chances of getting cavities.

Genetic effects on Gums


Health studies have revealed that certain people are at risk of developing gum issues due to genetics. Gum disorder or gingivitis is a disease that leads to the loss of teeth and the destruction of the tooth enamel. Genetics can play a role in increasing the chances of acquiring such diseases.
