Your oral health is about more than how well you brush and floss. There is also a certain genetic aspect that should be taken into account when discussing your dental care. Tell our Lynnwood dentistry clinic if your family has a history of any of the following so that we can plan your treatments accordingly:
- Gingivitis. Some families are more prone to gum disease than others.
- Crooked teeth. If you family has a lot of gaps between their teeth, you probably will as well.
- Bleeding disorders. A family history of clotting problems or similar blood-related issues can affect the treatments you receive.
- Certain chronic diseases. Your oral health can be deeply impacted by diabetes or other conditions that tend to run in families.
