Yes, brushing your teeth, flossing the in-betweens and other dental care procedures can result to great, healthy teeth. However, recent studies show that even though you brush your teeth often and do your other oral hygiene rituals religiously, you are still in risk of having cavities—if your genes say so. Yes, believe it or not, it’s in the genes. Researchers have studied twins to get conclude whether cavities are something biological in nature, however, during the course of their study, they found out that there is also another type of gene that prevents the person to have cavities (lucky you, if you have this!). These genes have something to do with the person’s saliva and food preferences.
