What we treat and how: pick a step
Gingivitis
Step 1 of 5
Plaque and tartar along the gum line cause inflammation of the surface of the gum. The bone and ligaments are not yet affected.
The dentist measures the depth of the gum sulcus and, if needed, orders an X-ray to rule out periodontitis.
An ultrasonic scaler removes tartar and soft plaque, including from just under the gum line.
The tooth surfaces are polished, and antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agents are applied to the inflamed areas.
The gums usually recover within 10–14 days, after which the dentist does a follow-up exam.

Frequently asked questions
Can gingivitis go away on its own?
Mild inflammation may subside after a few days of careful brushing. But tartar will not disappear by itself: it can only be removed with instruments. As long as the tartar stays, the bleeding only eases temporarily, while the inflammation continues under the gum line.
Does gingivitis treatment hurt?
With pronounced inflammation, the gum line may feel sensitive during treatment. If needed, the dentist applies a topical anesthetic. Bleeding while the deposits are being removed is a normal response of inflamed tissue, not a sign of injury.
How long does gingivitis treatment take?
The main procedure is done in one visit and takes about an hour. The gums recover within 10–14 days, after which the dentist does a follow-up exam. If there is a lot of buildup, the cleaning is sometimes split into two visits.
Will special gum toothpastes and mouthwashes help?
They reduce the symptoms but do not remove the cause — bacterial deposits. Constant use of antiseptic mouthwash disrupts the natural balance of bacteria in the mouth. Such products are appropriate as a supplement to treatment, in short courses.
How do I know the gingivitis is gone?
Healthy gums are firm, pale pink and do not bleed when you brush or floss. If the bleeding persists after two weeks, you need a repeat exam: some deposits may remain, or the process may be deeper than it seemed.
How do I keep gingivitis from coming back?
Brush twice a day, paying special attention to the gum line, and clean between your teeth every day with floss, interdental brushes or a water flosser. Do not stop brushing if your gums bleed during the first few days. Get a professional cleaning every 6 months.

I had a professional teeth cleaning with Dr. Olena Vitaliivna and was very pleased! The doctor was extremely attentive and caring, kept asking how I was feeling throughout the procedure and worked very gently. The procedure was quick and comfortable, and the result exceeded my expectations — my teeth are perfectly clean and even look whiter. I also want to thank the administrator for her friendliness and attention. She advised me on mouthwashes and recommended a treatment product that I could buy right there at the dental office, which was very convenient. I sincerely recommend this dental practice!

I really liked this dental office. I came as an emergency (I urgently needed help on a Sunday evening). They booked me quickly and with understanding of the situation. A tooth with a complicated history (gum surgery, long treatment and prosthetics), and all of it was done in…
I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Eurozet dentistry in Obolon, and especially to Dr. Viacheslav Vasylovych and his assistant Anastasiia. The tooth extraction went much easier than I expected. Dr. Viacheslav Vasylovych is a true professional: he explained everything clearly and did everything very carefully and confidently.

Special thanks to Anastasiia for her help and the pleasant atmosphere. It's great when people truly love what they do. I recommend Dr. Viacheslav Vasylovych and Eurozet — quality, professionalism and a human touch at a high level!
Today, at almost 20:00, I urgently started looking for a dentist and luckily found Eurozet. They didn't turn me away, saw me right away, removed the tooth and put in stitches completely painlessly. The whole staff and the doctor are true professionals, gifted! I'm very grateful for the fast, high-quality and caring help. I recommend them to everyone! 🌟🦷

Gums bleed when brushing: is it gingivitis
Blood on your toothbrush is not "sensitive enamel" and not normal. Gingivitis is often visible without any instruments: the gums turn red and swell, the gum tissue between the teeth flattens out, and the tissue becomes puffy and shiny instead of firm and pale pink. Bad breath returns within a few hours of brushing, and soft deposits or dark tartar are visible along the gum line.
Similar signs also occur with periodontitis, where the treatment is completely different. That is why the dentist first checks exactly what they are dealing with.
Why gums bleed more in teenagers and during pregnancy
Hormonal changes make the gums more sensitive to bacterial plaque. Blood vessels become more permeable, and the tissue responds with inflammation even to a small amount of buildup. That is why during adolescence and pregnancy the gums may bleed more than before, even with the same oral hygiene.
More careful home care and a professional cleaning help. During pregnancy, the cleaning is usually done in the second trimester, in agreement with your doctor.
What the cost of gingivitis treatment depends on
The core of treatment is a professional cleaning, and its cost depends on the amount of buildup. If you look after your teeth regularly, the procedure is simpler than when tartar has built up over years. Sometimes the inflammation is localized and only a few areas need treatment: then the cost is calculated by the number of teeth.
The dentist gives you the exact price after the exam, before any work begins. Prices for cleaning and gum treatment are on the Prices page.
