What Should I Ask My Dentist?
 		 Back to All About Periodontitis  

On your next visit to the dentist, let your dentist know that you care about the condition of your gums as well as your teeth. If it helps, print out this page or write down the questions you want to ask.

A healthy smile begins with healthy conversation.

Ask the following questions:

  1. Do my gums look healthy?
  2. Did my gums bleed during this exam?
  3. Have any spaces formed between my gums and my teeth?
  4. Are any of my permanent teeth loose or separating?
  5. Have there been any changes in the way my teeth fit when I bite?
  6. What steps can I take to achieve healthy gums?
  7. Should I schedule an appointment with a periodontist?
