A gum boil (periostitis) is a build-up of pus under the periosteum of the jaw. It starts from untreated caries or pulpitis: the infection leaves the root under the gums. A gum boil never goes away on its own - a surgeon is needed.
At Sorridi, surgeon Oleksandr Mykhailov opens the abscess, removes the source of the infection and prescribes therapy. What to do before the visit - read in the article about night pain and in the “Frequently asked questions” section below.
Signs of a gum boil
Throbbing pain
The pain grows at night and spreads to the ear or eye.
Swelling of the cheek
The pus spreads under the periosteum - the cheek swells.
Fever
A sign of a purulent inflammation. See a doctor the same day.
Tooth mobility

Frequently asked questions
What is flux and why does it appear?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon, implantologist
Flux (periostitis) is an accumulation of pus under the periosteum of the jaw. The cause is untreated caries or pulpitis: the infection from the tooth root exits under the gum. Trauma and stomatitis can also trigger it.
What should you do before seeing a doctor?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon, implantologist
Do not warm the cheek - heat speeds up the spread of pus! You can apply cold, drink plenty of water and take a painkiller. Do not take antibiotics without a prescription - it blurs the picture.
What does the doctor do for flux?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon, implantologist
Opens the abscess and places a drain, removes the cause: treats or extracts the source tooth of the infection. Prescribes antibacterial therapy and follow-up visits. Prompt care means a quick recovery without complications.
Why is flux dangerous if left untreated?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon, implantologist
Pus can spread into the deep spaces of the neck and skull - up to sepsis. Flux never “resorbs on its own”, so see a surgeon right away with a swollen cheek and pain.
How much does it cost to treat a gum boil?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon
Surgeon consultation - from 500 UAH. If the tooth cannot be saved, we remove it: simple extraction - from 1,800 UAH, complicated - from 3,000 UAH.
A gum boil and a wisdom tooth - what to do?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon
Wisdom teeth often become inflamed under the gum flap - that is the cause of the boil. The surgeon assesses the tooth on the X-ray and advises treatment or removal.
Are antibiotics needed for a gum boil?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon
Only as prescribed by a doctor. Do not take them before the visit - it blurs the picture and makes diagnosis harder.
How long does recovery take after treatment?
Oleksandr Mykhailov
Dental surgeon
After drainage the pain eases within a day. A follow-up check-up is the next day; full healing takes a few days with timely treatment.
