Needless to say, we get a lot of things from our parents, one of the biggest being our genetics. The color of your hair, the shade of your eyes, and even the shape of your earlobes is all written into your DNA. But what about your teeth? Do genetics play a big role when it comes to them as well? If so, is it possible for bad teeth to actually run in families? This is a longstanding myth that your dentist has heard countless times before, but fortunately, when it comes to your pearly whites, genetics aren’t actually as important as you might think.
