Fellow of The Academy of General Dentistry INHERITED GUM DISEASE it one ot your cniiarens gums oieea occasionally, this may be an indication of gum disease. If this happens in spite of good oral hygiene, it may suggest that he or she has inherited a tendency to gum disease. Juvenile periodontitis or gum disease can advance rapidly if left untreated. It can also result in loss of permanent teeth in chil dren and teenagers who are otherwise healthy. If the tendency is inherited, it may be traced to an x-linked gene present in the mother's chromosomes. Both boys and girls can inherit this trait, though it is more common among girls. In one case, the history was traced to a great-grandmother on the mother's side of the tamiiy anu several orner remaie lamiiy mem bers. In the present generation there were four girls and one boy in the family. Three of the daughters showed evidence of gum dis ease before they reached their teens. Whether there is a history of gum disease in your family or not, prompt treatment of this condition is needed to prevent soft tissue involvement and loosening of permanent teeth.
