i was at the dentist a couple weeks ago, and the assistant who cleaned my teeth said i was rated 3 in the front of my mouth and 4 in the back of my mouth for gum disease and gingervitis.
is there a rating chart out of 5 or out of 10 that is used when checking your gums for healthiness? i wish i would’ve thought to ask her if my score was out of 5 or 10.
A google search will give you more detail, but basically, the number is the millimeter depth of your gums. A 1 indicates 1mm of depth witch is ideal. 2 to 3mm is iffy, and 4 to 5 indicates a lot of gum depth and potential gum disease.

Lower numbers in front is typical because your back teeth do more powerful compression. But, good oral hygiene will prevent pockets from getting too deep. Floss daily and brush often.
