Periodontics FAQs
Can gum problems run in families?
Q.
My mother lost all her teeth at a young age and I have had several of my teeth extracted due to gum problems – can these run in families?
A.
Yes – it is now clear that proximately 10% of the population are genetically more likely to suffer from various forms of gum disease – particularly CIPD. It is really important that you get the opinion of a periodontal specialist so that you can discuss the various options for treatment. Why not discuss a referral with your dentist?
