Periodontology
Based on what kind of area is subject to dental exposure, several areas of dentistry can be distinguished. One of the most important is periodontology. Doctors of this profile work with the tissues located near the tooth.
The specialist of this profile is primarily interested in preventive procedures, diagnostics, as well as direct treatment of possible diseases. This doctor monitors the general condition of periodontal tissues about the time of implantation. Periodontist dentists are real experts when it comes to oral inflammations.
The range of activities of these specialists covers a variety of procedures, including the removal of harmful deposits, cleansing the root surface of teeth, curettage, which eliminates damaged tissue. Periodontists can treat those whose periodontal disease has already developed to a severe stage. In this case, the dentist applies surgical procedures.
In the process of the first visit to the doctor’s office, the specialist first becomes acquainted with the patient’s comprehensive medical record. This is extremely important for the periodontist, since he needs to know exactly which drugs his patient is taking and whether he is undergoing a parallel course that may adversely affect the periodontal one. For example, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and pregnancy are such factors.
After studying the history, the dentist should check the periodontal complex for recessions. Also, the periodontist must evaluate the correctness of the bite and, using special equipment, measure the depth of the periodontal canal. This is necessary for a proper assessment of the current state of the entire periodontal complex. X-ray procedure allows you to explore the state of bone tissue.

Patient’s feedback is confirmed
I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Oleksandra Tkachenko for her professional approach and high-quality treatment. I had periodontitis, and I was very worried that I might lose my teeth. Thanks to the right treatment, we were able to stop the disease from progressing and keep all my teeth in place. The doctor carefully explained each stage of treatment, was very attentive, and supported me throughout the entire process. Now my condition is much better, my gums have stabilized, and most importantly — I managed to avoid losing any teeth. Now I visit only her. I wholeheartedly recommend this specialist to anyone who has gum problems and wants to receive professional help.

FAQ
What does a periodontist do?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the health of the gums and the tissues that support the teeth. They treat gum inflammation (gingivitis) and periodontitis, perform deep cleanings, prescribe treatment, and help preserve teeth.
How does a dentist differ from a periodontist?
A dentist treats teeth in general — from cavities to prosthetics. A periodontist, on the other hand, deals exclusively with the gums and the bone tissue that supports the teeth. It is a more specialized field.
What is the difference between a dentist and a periodontist?
The difference lies in their specialization. A dentist is a general practitioner, while a periodontist is an expert in the gums, periodontium, and the treatment of diseases affecting the supporting structures of the teeth.
How much do periodontist services cost?
Prices depend on the procedure. A periodontist consultation starts at 300 UAH, a deep cleaning starts at 1,000 UAH, and comprehensive periodontitis treatment can cost 5,000 UAH or more. Check prices at the dental office.
What does a teeth cleaning by a periodontist involve?
It’s not just removing plaque — it involves deep cleaning below the gumline (scaling), sometimes using a laser or ultrasound. The procedure removes bacteria and reduces inflammation.
