Can people just have bad teeth if they do take care of them?

What is it if you have horrible teeth you always have problems with? You brush, you floss, and to no avail, they still suck. What is the deal? Can it just be genetics or something?

Can people just have bad teeth if they do take care of them?
A lot of tooth problems ARE inherited from our parents... for example if both parents had SOFT ENAMAL on their teeth, so will YOU... If only one parent, odds are you COULD have soft enamal OR inherit harder the harder enamal of the other parent. also bone problems can be inherited--if both parents lost mandible bone and tissue, likelihood that you will too will losen those teeth of yours... this also can happen on the bottom teeth as well. All the brushing, flossing, eating less sweets will NOT change the fact that you may have soft enamal on your teeth...BONDING the teeth will help and staying away from the sweets and brushing and flossing PROPERLY will definitely keep the teeth healthier but will not change your enamal from soft to hard... I have 2 brothers... they both have soft enamal teeth---they have had TONS of cavities in both their baby teeth AND their adult teeth. They also acquired poor dental bone and in their advanced years (50's) have begun losing teeth due to receeding gums which lets go of the hold on the ROOT of the teeth... in contrast, I had EXTREMELY strong teeth (strong enamal),, had but ONE CAVITY my entire life, but also started to have poor dental bone and lost MOST of my teeth from losening hold on the teeth root....sad thing was each tooth that fell out was in PERFECT SHAPE... most of the teeth that started falling out on both brothers had some sort of decay on them.... We ALL took very good care of my teeth because my mother worked for the local dentist and we just learned at a very early age that we MUST take care of our teeth----in all 3 of our cases, our teeth only lasted 50 years...regardless of my strong enamal... had my dental bone area been stronger, I probably would still have all my original teeth... oh and I went to dentists regularly and an orthodontist once a month for 7 complete years...
Reply:It is partly due to hereditary factors. Brush teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and don't eat sugary food, you should not face many problem . From http://aches.in/preventtoothache.html

Reply:Yes it definitely is genetics, brush at least twice a day, and floss nightly, and keep your breath fresh as well. Do the best you can with what you have. You will find most people will understand, that it is something that is inherited. Put on your best smile, and you will get smiles in return
