Good Teeth: They Don't Have to Be in Your Genes

My mother's side of the family has great teeth, but my father has dental problems. When I was a child, I got cavity after cavity, while my siblings came home from dental check-ups with zero problems. I thought I had inherited my bad teeth through my dad's bad genetics. Then learned through stories from my parents that my dad never cared for his teeth well, and I had cavities as a child because I was stubborn and refused to brush. This made me realize that bad teeth weren't in my genes after all! This was great news, it gave me hope that I was not doomed to a life of bad teeth if I care for them properly. I created this blog to help others who struggle with frequent cavities or other dental problems. You can improve your teeth with proper healthy habits!

If you are having problems keeping your teeth as white as you would like, you should probably consider your current oral health habits.
