Q.

Hello Ian, how are you? I just have a quick question regarding my teeth and gums. Unfortunately both my parents started loosing their teeth when they hit late 40’s. I don’t think there oral health was that bad, they say it was down to genetics? I was just wondering if i will suffer the same fate, is gum disease and losing teeth hereditary? Is there anything i can do to stop this? Any info would be great! Thanks!
