FYI:  Gum disease can effect anyone at any time.

Bacterial plaque is the main cause of gum disease.    There are many other contributing factors that can affect even those with immaculate home care.  

  1. Stress
  2. Smoking/tobacco use
  3. Genetics
  4. Diabetes
  5. Clenching or grinding your teeth
  6. Puberty, pregnancy and menopause in women
  7. Medications
Take the Gum Disease Risk Assessment Quiz from the American Academy of Periodontology and find out quickly what your risk level is for gum disease. Keep in mind though even if you rate at low risk, only a licensed dentist can tell you for sure if you have gum disease.
