Not necessarily. Tooth decay is caused by the bacteria n your mouth feeding on sugar in your food or drinks. The by-product is acid which eats away at the enamel - causing cavities. Eating a balanced diet, and brushing regularly after meals will help to reduce the amount of harmful bacteria.

Can tooth decay be genetic?

While it is not true that if your parents have a lot of decay, you will also have a lot of decay, it is true that there is a genetic predisposition to tooth decay. This simply means that you may have to work harder to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent tooth decay. Tooth decay is primarily a function of poor oral hygiene. Keep you mouth adequately clean, see your dentist and hygienist frequently, follow their advice, and you will likely experience less tooth decay.
