Melissa Fernald joined Fenway in 2009. She holds an Associate of Arts in Dental Hygiene and a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. Melissa is especially interested in scaling and root planning with anesthesia as well as maintaining periodontal health following the service. Aside from cleaning patient’s teeth while they are in the clinic, Melissa believes that providing good oral hygiene instruction for patients to implement at home accounts for 50% of my responsibilities as a hygienist.
When not working, Melissa enjoys the gym and going for scenic runs with her 2 year old foxhound, Rocket. She and her husband are very active and enjoy bringing both of their rescue hounds on road trips through New England hike destinations. They are also Bruins fans who appreciate visiting local breweries/ wineries.
