Can you be immune to cavities or gum disease? Some people may be less prone, but complete immunity is rare. However, in theory, it might be possible. For instance, cavities require specific bacteria to develop, and if you never acquire them, you might avoid tooth decay. Gum disease, on the other hand, is influenced by genetics and immune factors. Regardless of your risk level, daily habits—like brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits—are key to maintaining a healthy smile. While you can’t change your genetics, you can control your oral care routine!
