CHICAGO, Ill., USA: The American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) has developed a quiz to help people determine if they are a candidate for dental implants. Designed to be a starting point for people researching tooth replacement options, the quiz asks five questions about oral health and based on each person’s answers generates a recommendation.

“We want this quiz to be helpful and informative,” said AAID President Alfred “Duke” Heller, DDS, MS, FAAID, DABOI/ID. “If the quiz results show someone should explore dental implants, our main goal is to connect that person with an expert implant dentist in their area to get a personalized consultation.”

The quiz can be found on AAID’s patient-facing website, which provides expert, state-of-the-art information about dental implants and includes a search tool for finding highly qualified local implant dentists.

For people who have put aside addressing missing teeth and visiting the dentist due to COVID-19, the AAID wants to bring awareness to how important it is to prioritize your oral health and the importance of visiting an expert dentist.

The academy wants the public to know that AAID-credentialed dentists invest significant time and energy into dental implant-focused training. Because they have a thorough knowledge of all aspects of dental implants and treatment options, they understand the big picture — and they’re dedicated to putting your needs and your health first, AAID said.

The quiz is available at https://connect.aaid-implant.org/quiz-candidate.
