Short tools that help you understand your situation before you call anyone.
These tools are for education only. They help you ask better questions — they do not replace a clinical exam.
§ 01 · Choose a tool
Four tools. Each takes under 3 minutes.
Answer 3 questions about your pain. Get a plain-English summary of likely causes, urgency level, and questions to ask your dentist.
Use this when you have tooth pain, pressure, sensitivity, or swelling and want to understand what it might mean before calling.
3 steps
Not sure if you need to be seen today? Two questions to determine whether your situation can wait or needs same-day attention.
Use this when something feels wrong but you are not sure if it is urgent — broken tooth, swelling, lost crown, or unusual pain.
2 steps
13 questions. A 0 to 100 score based on the factors that most influence whether patients keep their teeth long-term.
Use this when you want a baseline picture of your long-term tooth health risk based on the KYT Framework.
13 questions
Search any medication and see how it affects dental care — bleeding risk, dry mouth, healing, gum changes, and what to tell your dentist.
Use this when you take any medications regularly and want to know what your dentist needs to be aware of before your visit.

§ 02 · When to use
Self-education before — not instead of — a clinical exam.
Before you call
Understand whether your situation is urgent, or if it can wait for a scheduled appointment.
Before the exam
Learn the vocabulary and understand the categories so the visit feels less like a surprise.
For long-term planning
The KYT Score gives you a structured picture of which risk factors matter most for keeping your teeth.
These tools do not provide diagnoses. A clinical exam is always required to confirm what is happening.
If your situation needs a clinical evaluation, we can get you in within 1–2 business days.
