Oral Health and Genetic Risk Factors

Hi! My name is Molly, and in spite of being diligent about brushing and flossing, I suffer from a lot of oral health issues including cavities and gum disease. I have realized over the years how big of a role genetics plays in oral health, and I find it to be such an exciting topic that I have created a blog about it.
