Marco A. Peres-Aurelio is a periodontist on the Gold Coast, QLD, Australia. He looks after the gums and the support tissues around teeth, focusing on keeping teeth stable and comfortable for the long run.
Most people see a periodontist when gum health has started to slip. In many cases this is linked to periodontitis, where the gums can become sore, bleed, or pull away from the teeth over time. Marco also helps people who have long-term dry mouth. Dry mouth can make it harder to keep teeth and gums healthy, and it can also make eating and speaking feel uncomfortable.
Oral problems don’t always sit alone. At times, general health issues like obesity and metabolic syndrome can affect the way the body handles inflammation and healing. Hypertension can also be part of the bigger picture. Marco works with people who have these kinds of ongoing health concerns, because oral health care is often easier when everything is considered together.
He also sees patients with issues that can connect to nerves and saliva. For example, trigeminal neuralgia can bring sharp, recurring facial pain, and salivary gland tumours can affect saliva flow and mouth comfort. These aren’t always “gum problems” in the usual sense, but they can show up in the mouth and need careful, practical assessment.
When you’re dealing with gum disease, dry mouth, or facial pain, the plan has to be clear and calm. Marco aims to explain what’s going on in plain language and outline the next steps in a way that feels doable. That might include gum-focused treatment, ongoing check-ups, and advice on keeping the mouth healthy day to day.
Marco is based in Gold Coast and works with local patients who want steady care and honest guidance. If you’ve noticed bleeding gums, bad breath that won’t shift, loose teeth, mouth dryness, or ongoing mouth pain, it can help to get checked early. The sooner problems are found, the more options you usually have.
