Patient's question:
The baby clears their throat after brushing their teeth, and sometimes also clears their throat after eating, especially sweet foods.Doctor's answer:
If the parents have many cavities, their children will also have many cavities. If the incidence of cavities in parents is low, the incidence of cavities in their children will also be low. The above research results indicate that cavities have a genetic tendency. The research results also prove that various aspects of the oral cavity are hereditary, such as enamel structure, tooth shape, size, and their arrangement in the dental arch, the morphology of the dental arch, the depth of fissures and grooves on the occlusal surfaces, the amount of saliva in the mouth and its buffering capacity, as well as the self-cleaning effect of crown convexity, etc. All of these are related to the occurrence of cavities.
