The Warning Signs Are Clear
Blood when you brush. Red, swollen gums. Bad breath that won't go away. These aren't minor inconveniences — they're signs of active Gum Disease.
The reality: Bleeding gums mean bacteria are attacking your gum tissue. Without treatment, this leads to bone loss and eventually tooth loss.
The good news? Caught early, gum disease is treatable. A specialist can stop the damage and restore your gum health.
Why You Shouldn't Wait
Gum disease is progressive. The longer you wait, the more damage occurs. More advanced and costly treatment might be needed.
Gingivitis
Red, swollen gums that bleed easily. Reversible with treatment.
Early Periodontitis
Gums begin to pull away. Early bone loss starts.
Advanced Periodontitis
Significant bone loss. Teeth may become loose or fall out.

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be completely reversed. More advanced periodontitis can be stopped and managed effectively, but some damage may be permanent. The earlier you seek treatment, the better the outcome.
What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
"I drove from South to North to the Adelaide Gum Doctor and was worth the drive. To say I was apprehensive of having to undergo gum and deep pocket cleaning was an understatement but from the minute I walked in and sat in Dr Leo Lander's dental chair I felt the professionalism and care shine through. There was no pain no discomfort only the hands of a Master at work... I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Leo enough. It's a no brainer if your in pain see Adelaide Gum Doctor."
