What happens at a hygiene appointment?
Visiting a dental hygienist is an important part of a healthy smile routine.
Dental hygienists are well-trained in preventative dental care, and they are eager to share and explain what they know so that you can apply their knowledge and experience to your own oral hygiene routine.
The hygienist will scale your teeth to remove dental calculus, polish them, check your gums for signs of inflammation, alert you to areas where you need to brush and floss more and provide preventative treatments like topical fluoride application.
I have been with Dr. Frankl and Larsa, the lovely hygenist for many years, as has my whole family, including both daughters and my husband. Personally, I feel we are in superb hands - the hygenist has been brilliant, for preventative measures, Dr. Frankl has been fabulous in advising and treating us all. I have no hesitation in recommending the Lotus Dental and Aesthetics Clinic. Post Covid we have all been to the hygenist and everything is spotless. A wonderful, safe, highly professional and happy environment!!

Gum therapy at Lotus Dental Clinic
Do you have receded gums or a gummy smile?
We offer gum reconstruction and laser surgery to change the shape of your gum line and give your smile a more balanced appearance.
Deep cleanings are another key element of gum care. When tartar and bacteria build up on the roots of your teeth, this can lead to an infection that triggers inflammation in your gums. The inflammation can spread to the bone in your jaw and make it break down, resulting in a condition called periodontitis (gum disease).
To prevent this infection from getting out of hand, we offer deep cleanings at Lotus Dental Clinic. In a deep cleaning, the hygienist will lightly anaesthetise your gums with a numbing gel and then use special instruments to remove infected debris and tartar from the roots of your teeth.
As an additional line of defence against periodontal disease, our hygienists may also administer a localised medicament called PerioChipⓇ. This small biodegradable chip is gently inserted between the gum tissue and the tooth root in an area affected by gum disease. Typically placed after a deep cleaning, this chip will gradually dissolve and release a non-antibiotic cleansing agent that kills remaining bacteria and prevents the growth of new harmful microbes.
In the event that you need more involved treatment to restore your gum health, Lotus Dentist Dr. Emanuele Clozza is qualified to perform advanced periodontal surgery.
