Gum Disease Risk Check

Nine quick questions, drawn from the risk factors the American Academy of Periodontology and the CDC associate with gum disease. It is a screening indicator, not a diagnosis. No email, nothing stored.

Yes No

2. Do you smoke or vape?

Yes No

3. Have you been diagnosed with diabetes (or pre-diabetes)?

Yes No

4. Have you noticed gums pulling back, longer-looking teeth, or any loose teeth?

Yes No

5. Has it been more than a year since your last professional dental cleaning?

Yes No

6. Does a parent or sibling have gum disease or early tooth loss?

Yes No

7. Are you over 35?

Yes No

8. Do you often have a dry mouth (from medication or mouth-breathing)?

9. Do you have persistent bad breath or a bad taste that brushing does not fix?

Yes No

Result

This is a screening indicator, not a diagnosis.

Only a dentist can diagnose gum disease, with an exam and measurements. See one for a real assessment, especially if you answered yes to bleeding, recession, or loose teeth.
