Professional Cleanings

Regular periodontal (gum) care by a registered dental hygienist is critical in maintaining a healthy, beautiful, white smile. Mineralized plaque (calculus) will develop over time even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to access at home.

Melissa Corkrey, our registered dental hygienist, specializes in gentle, thorough periodontal care. We are proud to have Melissa as part of our team as her gentle touch, warm smile, and outstanding academic record make her one of the best ( if not THE best) dental hygienist in Loudoun County. No wonder her professors voted her #1 in her hygiene class!

During a professional cleaning, our patients receive:

• Oral Cancer Screening
• Oral Hygienie Instructions
• Nutritional Counseling
• Periodontal Full Mouth Probing
• Scaling and Tooth Polishing
• Flouride Gel (at no extra charge)

Dr. Grady recommends that teens and adults have a dental examination and professional cleaning at least every 6 months. Relax in our massage chairs, as we renew, refresh, and rejuvenate your smile at Dr. Grady’s office. We can help you maintain that fab smile for a lifetime!
