Lucy qualified as a Dental Hygienist & Therapist at the Eastman Dental Hospital and the Faculty of Royal College of Surgeons in 2005. She gained invaluable experience working at the head and neck cancer unit at Luton Hospital. She also obtained a Certificate in Oral Health Promotion with Distinction from the University of Nottingham and is a member of the British Association of Dental Hygiene and Therapy (BADHT).

Lucy is thorough, precise and passionate about her work and has a special interest in advanced non-surgical periodontal therapy. She works alongside Dr Stern to implement tailored treatment plans for a variety of patients – ranging from simple to complex cases.

Lucy strongly believes in a holistic approach and patients often note her kind and reassuring manner – a particular benefit for nervous patients!

She has also received advanced training in the use of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) using the EMS Airflow device – one of the most effective forms of dental hygiene treatment available.

Lucy takes pride in educating and supporting her patients, improving their oral and general health and helping stabilise their periodontal disease. She is also very knowledgeable in providing smoking cessation support.

Outside of work, she enjoys cooking, going for long walks, and spending quality time with her daughter Holly. Don’t delay and book in today!

Fran is Dr Stern’s right hand (and left hand) woman. Her outstanding care and professionalism is key to the smooth running of the practice.

Additionally, as all of our patients will attest, Fran is a great communicator and a pleasure to deal with. If there is anything you need from Dr Stern or the practice – Fran is the go-to!

When Fran is not at The Perio Centre she is often found working just as hard in the gym, at an art exhibition or travelling somewhere exotic.
