I, OTOH, am called metal mouth by my wife and kids. Lots of cavities, some crowns. For some years (in my 40s?) I was using no novocaine, but now I again use it. Very rare to go a year without a cavity or replacement filling.
And not cavities due to rarely seeing dentist. Typically for at least the past 10 years I’ve been having 3 cleanings per year, with the dentist checking the teeth every other visit (but any visit when the hygienist sees a problem that she thinks he should see).
Wife and daughters are more like 1 cavity every 5 years, or even less often, and just 2 cleanings per year.
i was on a call with a client when I could see my younger one taking the test. i had to do a play by play of the parallel parking attempt. it was something! she passed
My husband’s younger brother had a stroke tonight (well, not yet confirmed, they’re doing an MRI, but the neurologist thinks it was a stroke). He’s only 45.
My FIL had his first stroke young, too. It turned out he had a small hole in his heart, which he learned a few years ago, and that caused several strokes. I would guess that kind of thing isn’t hereditary, but of course I know nothing about those things.
My BIL smokes and is generally not healthy, but he’s not overweight and doesn’t have diabetes or hypertension.
Best to have you husband ask a doctor on the hereditary thing. My dad had a heart valve issue that is hereditary…both my sister and I were cleared of this after having heart echocardiograms.
