Gum Disease Risk Quiz Results

Your risk for gum disease is moderate.


Recommendations

To manage your risk for gum disease, we recommend:

At the dentist's office

  • If you have not been to the dentist in the past year, you should make an appointment to see your dentist within the next 6 months. You should visit your dentist regularly (every 6 to 12 months) for an exam and cleaning.
  • Regular dental visits are important even if you don’t notice a problem. By the time you notice something is wrong or have pain, the problem could be more serious.

At home

  • Brush at least twice a day for 2-3 minutes with a fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss at least once a day.
  • If you smoke, stop. Your dentist or dental hygienist can help or direct you to resources to help you quit smoking.
