Your Genetics and Your Dental Care

Brushing and flossing well will go a long way towards maintaining proper oral health. Unfortunately, there is also a certain degree to which forces beyond your control, like your genetics, are going to play an important role. Tell our Federal Way dentistry clinic if you have a family history of any of the following so that we can customize your treatments appropriately:

  • Gingivitis. You may be more genetically disposed to gum disease.
  • Bleeding disorders. A family history of clotting problems or similar bleeding issues can impact your dental treatments.
  • Crooked teeth. If there are a lot of braces in your family, chances are good that you’ll need them as well.
  • Certain disease that tend to run in families, like diabetes, can have a powerful effect on your oral health.
