What Is Periodontal (Gum) Disease and What Causes It?

Periodontal disease is a serious gum infection that damages the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. It is caused by the accumulation of plaque and bacteria on the teeth and gums. If left untreated, this leads to inflammation, gum recession, and, eventually, tooth loss. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, which can progress to periodontitis without proper care.

Common Signs and Stages of Gum Disease

Common symptoms of gum disease include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum swelling, and gum recession. As it progresses, you may experience tooth mobility and pain when chewing. Early detection is crucial, as untreated gum disease can cause significant damage to your oral health and overall well-being.

Our Comprehensive Periodontal Treatment Options: Scaling, Root Planing & More

At Dental Specialists of Niles, P.C., we offer a range of effective treatments to combat gum disease:


  • Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline to prevent bacteria from infecting the gums and bone.


  • Laser Treatment: Uses advanced technology to target and remove infected tissue while promoting healing.


  • Periodontal Surgery: For advanced cases of periodontitis, surgical options like gum grafts and pocket reduction surgery may be needed to restore gum health.


  • Gum Regeneration: In cases of severe gum recession, bone grafting or soft-tissue grafting may be used to restore lost tissue and bone.

Benefits of Treating Gum Disease Early

Treating gum disease early can help prevent tooth loss, bone damage, and more invasive treatments. Early intervention helps preserve the integrity of your teeth and gums, reduces inflammation, and improves your overall oral microbiome.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Treatment

  • What Is the Difference Between Gingivitis and Periodontitis?

    Gingivitis is the mildest form of gum disease, causing gum inflammation and bleeding. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more severe condition that affects the bone and tissue supporting your teeth.

  • How Can I Prevent Gum Disease?

    Prevent gum disease by brushing twice daily, flossing every day, quitting smoking, and scheduling regular dental checkups and cleanings to catch any early signs of gingivitis before it progresses.

  • How Is Periodontal Disease Treated?

    Periodontal disease is typically treated with scaling and root planing, deep cleanings, and in some cases, gum surgery or bone grafting to restore gum health and prevent further damage.

  • Can Gum Disease Cause Tooth Loss?

    Yes, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss if the infection damages the bone and tissue supporting the teeth. Early treatment can help prevent tooth loss by addressing the infection before it causes irreversible damage.

  • How Long Does It Take to Recover From Gum Disease Treatment?

    Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the disease and the treatment method. After a scaling and root planing procedure, most patients experience mild discomfort for a few days, while recovery from surgery can take several weeks.
