The Benefits of Regular Dental Checkups for Gingivitis
Gingivitis is a common oral health and gum issue that affects many people worldwide. It is caused by the inflammation of the gums due to plaque buildup on the teeth. The early symptoms of gingivitis are often mild and may include redness, swelling and bleeding of gums. However, if left untreated, it can progress to more severe forms of periodontal disease. Regular dental checkups can help prevent gingivitis from becoming worse, and it is essential to understand the benefits of going to the dentist more regularly for gingivitis.

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
