    ABSTRACT: Background Tooth loss significantly impacts oral function and overall health deterioration. Dental caries and periodontal disease are major contributors to tooth loss, emphasizing the critical need to prevent these conditions. Genetic studies have played a crucial role in deepening our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these diseases. While large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on dental caries and periodontal disease have been conducted extensively, research focusing on Asian populations remains limited. Given substantial genetic and lifestyle variations across ethnicities, conducting studies across diverse populations is imperative. This study aimed to uncover new insights into the genetic mechanisms of these diseases, contributing to broader knowledge

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • limit fermentable carbohydrates and sugary foods Moderate

    Oral bacteria ferment dietary sugars producing acid that demineralizes tooth enamel

    Minimize sugar-sweetened beverages, candy, and between-meal snacking; rinse mouth after acidic foods

Discuss with your doctor

  • fluoride supplementation for caries prevention Moderate

    Fluoride strengthens enamel resistance to acid and inhibits bacterial acid production

    Ask dentist about appropriate fluoride regimen (topical, rinse, or systemic based on age and caries risk)

Lifestyle

  • enhanced daily oral hygiene routine Moderate

    Increased plaque removal and bacterial control may reduce caries risk in genetically susceptible individuals

    Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, use antimicrobial rinse if recommended

Screening

  • regular dental checkups for caries prevention Moderate

    GWAS association indicates increased dental caries susceptibility requiring preventive screening

    Schedule professional dental evaluations every 6 months
