Periodontal Disease Self-Assessment Questionaire

Use the following questions to see if you may have some of the signs and symptoms indicative of progressive periodontal disease:

• Do your gums bleed when you floss or brush your teeth?
• Are your gums red, tender or swollen?
• Is pus visible when you press on your gums?
• Do your teeth appear to be getting longer?
• Is your gum line uneven when you smile?
• Are the roots of your teeth exposed and sensitive to hot or cold?
• Can you wiggle one or more of your teeth with your tongue or fingers?
• Are there spaces between your teeth where there were none before?
• Has there been a change in how you bite?
• Has there been a change in how your partial denture(s) fit(s)?
• Do you have bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth?
• Is your mouth often dry or burning?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may have some form of gum disease.
