Mostly an excuse but there are hereditary conditions such as
amelogenesis imperfecta.
If mom has a bad diet, then usually the kids do too. If she believes that she has no control over the kids healthy smile, then how can the kids learn? Anyway, the parents can be reported to CYS for neglecting the child's teeth. Decay is a preventable disease!
I would say a little bit of both. The enamel on my husbands teeth is softer than the average person, so he is more likely to get cavities etc. The dentist told him that he could have inherited that from his parents, and his mom also has problems with her teeth.
But, taking care of your teeth and visiting a dentist regularly is key. Don't let your sister in law use genes as an excuse not to take care of her kids teeth.
not exactly, cause u dont know how they delt with there teeth, but of course there is a parental genes
Bad in terms of positioning & physical characteristics, 10%.
Other 90% is due to nutrition & hygeine taught by family.
excuse probly... I think that you bring bad teeth upon yourself.. like when you first loose your teeth they are white and stuff... so yeah you dont inherit them I think
Bad teeth are due to improper diet, which begins when their moms ate poorly when pregnant with them & poor dental hygiene. Many babies grow up with bad teeth because they were given a milk bottle at bedtime for years. Then parents wonder why their child has bad teeth. Sheesh!!!!
