Dirna says: Gum disease can run in families. If your parents or siblings have been diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis, you might have a higher risk of developing it too. It’s important to be aware of your family history and take extra care with your oral hygiene. Regular dental check-ups can help catch early signs of gum issues.
