Is the tooth bad because of heredity?

The genetic function of genes is powerful! Parents' dental traits or related diseases may still be passed on to their children!

Is tooth irregularity related to heredity?

Our life comes from our parents, and naturally we inherit the character and genes of the previous generation from our parents. Of course, the genes of teeth are also inherited.

Irregular teeth:

Many babies find that their teeth are staggered, unevenly arranged before and after, or crowded together as if they can't stand it, as if so many teeth can't fit in a small mouth. Children's teeth are crooked and crowded together because they inherit some oral characteristics of both parents at the same time, which leads to conflicts. Some children inherit their father's' big die' and their mother's small bones at the same time. Bone limits the growth position of teeth, resulting in teeth either not growing out, or there is not enough space, so they can only be squeezed out. Parents buck teeth, children buck teeth; Many people have buck teeth, and many children who come to the dentist have this problem. Children with buck teeth are often laughed at by classmates. Children are sensitive and feel inferior. Buck teeth also include the situation that the mandibular teeth are inclined to the mouth. This genetic factor is stronger. After all, maxillary protrusion may also be caused by the bad habit of biting when I was a child. For example, I tried my best to stick my teeth out when I couldn't reach the bottle, and there were almost no accidents of mandibular retraction, which were not caused by human factors, but brought out from my stomach.

Children have a "short chin";

Obviously, it runs in the family. Many children and adults in life have the phenomenon of "short chin", which is often called "no chin" "No chin" will make people feel out of proportion to the traditional facial aesthetics. Short chin is called deep overbite in the field of orthodontics, that is, under normal circumstances, the upper teeth should cover the lower teeth 1.2 mm, and the short chin may appear when the occlusion is deep. Deep overbite often shows that the lower front teeth can't be seen when occluding, and if accompanied by skeletal deformity, the chin will be very short. This deformity is very easy to bite the upper gum. According to clinical research, this kind of deep overbite jaw "has obvious family genetic tendency"

There are also some cases, such as congenital supernumerary teeth, congenital tooth loss, congenital toothlessness and so on.

Reasons for bad teeth:

Bad teeth may also be caused by environmental factors, including dental caries and periodontal disease caused by poor oral hygiene, or poor tooth development or mineralization caused by parents' lack of some necessary trace elements when they were young, or dentition disorder caused by some bad oral habits of parents. None of this is hereditary. Of course, if you are lazy and neglect oral hygiene maintenance, then I can't guarantee that this lazy attribute will not be inherited.

Suggestion:

Emphasize that children should pay attention to the maintenance of oral hygiene, eat less sweets, brush their teeth after meals, floss, apply fluoride regularly, and pay attention to correcting bad oral habits, including hygiene habits. Then we can minimize the adverse effects of environmental factors.

If it has been confirmed that it is a dental disease with genetic factors, we must intervene as soon as possible! Don't wait until the child says it hurts to see a doctor. This time is basically when tooth decay is more serious.
