Meet Dr Jothilakshmi Jegadeeswaran – General Dentist at Pacific Smiles Dental Chirnside Park

Dr Jothilakshmi Jegadeeswaran is a General Dentist at Pacific Smiles Dental Chirnside Park who believes that good dentistry comes with good communication and, when appropriate, a little humour.

Jothilakshmi graduated from Madras Medical College in 2013 and brings broad experience across general dentistry, with particular strengths in children’s dentistry, elderly denture care, crown work and wisdom tooth surgery.

Areas of Interest

Dr Jothilakshmi provides general dental care, with a particular interest in:

• General dentistry
• Paediatric dentistry
• Denture care for elderly patients
• Crown and restorative dentistry
• Wisdom tooth surgery
• Preventative dental care

One of the most rewarding parts of being a dentist for Jothilakshmi is turning “I’m scared of the dentist” into “When can I come back?” Whether it’s relieving pain, helping a nervous child through their appointment, or giving someone a smile they are proud of, she loves seeing the change in her patients.

A Calm & Adaptable Approach

Jothilakshmi is known for being calm under pressure, adaptable and approachable. She has a gift for connecting with patients of all ages and backgrounds, from young children who need a little creativity and patience to elderly patients navigating the challenges of denture care.

She particularly enjoys working with children, using communication and a gentle approach to turn a stressful appointment into a positive experience. She has also developed a strong interest in elderly denture care, helping patients find solutions to the sore spots, loose fits and comfort issues that can make a big difference to their daily lives.

Jothilakshmi’s tip: Look after your teeth like you only have one set, because you do! Don’t wait for pain to become your appointment reminder. Prevention is much easier than an emergency dental adventure.

Community Involvement

Jothilakshmi regularly visits aged-care facilities to support elderly patients with their dental needs, particularly those experiencing difficulties with dentures, oral discomfort and dental pain. She finds it especially rewarding to help patients who may have limited access to regular dental care, knowing that something as simple as adjusting a denture or relieving a sore spot can make a big difference to someone’s day.

Life Beyond Dentistry

When she’s not caring for patients, Jothilakshmi enjoys cooking and trying new recipes, spending time with her family and watching movies with her child. Fun fact: she’s watched some of them enough times to know the dialogue by heart!
