Does heredity play a role in gum disease?

0

Yes, it does. Studies have shown that certain groups of African-Americans are more susceptible to periodontitis. A very defined group of Mediterranean Jews are also very prone to the development of gum disease. The susceptibility to being infected by these bacteria have also been demonstrated in children of parents that have gum disease.
