About Me

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. In this blog, I am going to include info about genetics and dentistry, but I am also going to include posts about what to do if you "inherited" challenging teeth from your family. For example, sealants have helped me to avoid cavities. I hope you find this blog useful, and that you keep returning to read its posts! --Molly
