Bad teeth - genetic or from pregnancy?

I posted a question a little while ago about me having horrible teeth, tons of cavaties. It does seem like it could be genetic. I also have an 18 month old and recently had a miscarriage. Could it be from the pregnancy hormones?


Every one seems to think it could be, but now I'm looking for proof. Does anyone know of any online articles that would address the genetic or pregnancy issue?


I do appreciate the stories, at least I know I'm not alone in this! Thanks for that, but now I want proof. Or at least something I can print off to show my dentist that I'm not a lying fool.


Thanks!

Bad teeth - genetic or from pregnancy?
It could be a combination of both. I have ok teeth, though they are naturally yellowish, which in today's society is considered hideous and unacceptable, so I whiten all the time. I have two sons and one son has excellent teeth, barely any problems at all, and the younger son has had an abscess, cavities, all sorts of problems. They both have good dental hygiene and eat a very similar diet, so I do think some of it is just the luck of the draw.

Reply:My mother always said I got her teeth. I have been to dentists forever but I am wearing a partail or almost top denture and have fillings on what is left of the bottom, since I was 25. . I have had abscesses that have made me look like a prize fighter. My mother said her mothers teeth were bad also. I go for genetic, but of course both my children have almost perfect teeth.
