IT\u2019S TRUE THAT EVERY ASPECT OF OUR HEALTH IS AFFECTED TO SOME DEGREE BY OUR GENES.<\/strong> And yes, some people just seem to be more predisposed to getting cavities. But it\u2019s probably not a matter of \u201csoft\u201d versus \u201chard\u201d teeth. <\/p>\n Does this sound like you? If so, you\u2019re the rare exception\u2014and although it isn\u2019t typical, we understand. That\u2019s why it\u2019s SO important that you pay particular attention to the basics. <\/p>\n There\u2019s good bacteria and bad bacteria. That unique mix, in your unique mouth, and how your mouth reacts to that mix may be what you\u2019re really inheriting from grandpa. This video talks about oral bacteria mix or imbalance: [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ln6xjspBa7g&w=543&h=305] BY THE WAY…<\/strong> If you watched the video above, Josh says, \u201cAll you have to do is brush.\u201d<\/em> Hey Josh… We have one criticism of your video. You need to floss too! When you skip flossing, you\u2019re missing up to 35% of your tooth\u2019s surface area! <\/p>\n Are you a mouth breather? Was everyone who attended last summer\u2019s family reunion a mouth breather too? Our saliva is a critical primary defense against tooth decay. Dry mouth may be a problem you need to be aware of and treat. <\/p>\n Some of us emulate our parents when it comes to the way we eat. That may include a tendency to snack a lot, an affinity for soft drinks, etc., which may be detrimental to our dental health. <\/p>\n How faithfully do you brush and floss? How consistently do you schedule regular dental checkups? Do you avoid (or even fear) dentists? How aware are you of the connection between your oral health and whole body health? Often, these things are priorities\/attitudes passed by parents to children (consciously and sub-consciously). <\/p>\n As you know, we love talking about this stuff. So if you\u2019re unsure why you\u2019re more cavity prone than you should be, let\u2019s visit. We can help figure it out and suggest solutions to keep your mouth healthy. <\/p>\n [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YWYuQRIqsw8&w=543&h=407] <\/p>\n IT\u2019S TRUE THAT EVERY ASPECT OF OUR HEALTH IS AFFECTED TO SOME DEGREE BY OUR GENES.<\/strong> And yes, some people\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[259],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-blog","category-1","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mydentalpracticeblog.com\/hudsonhighlandsdentistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\u201cI Do Everything Right And I Still Get Cavities\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n
