Thanks for writing about this! It is such an important topic, that I often forget about how crucial it is to floss and take care of your teeth and gums.

I just took the quiz, and I have a moderate risk for gum disease, since I do have gum disease in my family, and they note that "approximately one-half of gum disease is related to genetics."

Additionally, I am at an increased risk for gum disease because I have some "gum pockets" that have been assessed by the doctor, my gums bleed while flossing (and I do not floss that often)...all of these are common symptoms of gum disease. Wow---that caught my attention!

Thanks, again, for the wake-up call!
