Periodontal hygiene and gum care in Lutsk

Bleeding gums are not a trivial matter. Sometimes a professional cleaning is enough; sometimes a gum assessment and periodontal treatment are needed.

Signs your gums need attention

  • gums bleed when brushing or eating hard food;
  • redness, swelling, bad breath;
  • receding gums, exposed tooth necks;
  • teeth have become loose or shifted.

There can be different causes. Most often it's plaque and tartar, but only a dentist can tell for sure after an examination. A website can't make a diagnosis.

What periodontal hygiene is

When inflammation lasts a long time, periodontal pockets form between the tooth and the gum. Deposits build up in them that a regular cleaning can't reach. Periodontal hygiene means carefully removing them below the gumline, taking into account the condition of the tissues.

How it works

  1. Diagnosis. The dentist measures pocket depth, assesses bleeding and tooth mobility, and orders an X-ray if needed.
  2. Plan. Depending on the results: professional hygiene, deeper cleaning below the gums, home care and follow-up visits.
  3. Maintenance. Patients with gum disease usually need more frequent maintenance cleanings.

At the clinics we work with, gum treatment options include periodontal pocket curettage, Vector therapy, medicated pocket treatment and plasma therapy. Whether you need any of them is decided by the dentist only after diagnosis. See prices for costs.

Why not to delay

Gum inflammation is often reversible at an early stage. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, with loss of the bone around the teeth. The sooner you come for a check-up, the simpler the treatment.

You can start with professional hygiene: the dentist will assess your gums and tell you whether you need a periodontist. More about bleeding in our FAQ.

In Lutsk, we recommend having this procedure at the dental clinic “Filigranno” (Yaroslava Mudroho St, 48). Dentist: Sofiia Halka, dental hygienist, periodontist.

Звернулася на AirFlow, бо помічала темний наліт від кави. Процедуру проводила лікарка клініки. Найбільше запам’яталося, наскільки уважно пояснювали кожен етап і цікавилися моїм самопочуттям під час прийому.

Frequently asked questions

Should I brush if my gums bleed?

Yes, you should — gently, with a soft brush. If bleeding doesn't stop within a week or two, see a dentist.

Will AirFlow help with gum inflammation?

AirFlow removes the plaque that often causes inflammation, but on its own it doesn't treat gum disease. You need a diagnosis and a plan from the dentist.
