5/31/2020,

To Our Practice Family,

We hope this letter finds you and your family healthy!  Our community has been through a lot these past few months, and we are all looking forward to getting back to “normal”.  While many things have changed, one thing that has remained the same is our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our office, as you have seen during your visits.  Our infection control protocols have been designed so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable.  We want to remind of the infection control protocols we follow and inform you of additional changes that we have made.

Our office has always followed infection control protocols endorsed by the American Dental Association, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.  We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any and all new rulings or guidance that is issued.

You will see some changes when it is time for your next appointment.  We made these changes to protect our guests as well as our team.  For example:

  1. Our office will contact you before your appointment to ask screening questions.  You will be asked the same when you arrive for your appointment
  2. We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use as you enter the office.  You will find this sanitizer throughout our office.
  3. You will be asked to come alone for your appointment or only one parent if a minor.  This will enable us to have fewer people in the office for social distancing.
  4. Appointments will be scheduled to allow social distancing.  The appointments will be staggered which means there may be fewer options available for scheduling your appointment
  5. We will do our best to allow greater time between guests to minimize your wait.
  6. We will be using enhanced protocols between each guest to ensure your safety

We look forward to seeing you all again- it has been way too long since we have been with our practice family!  We are happy to answer any and all of your questions or concerns about the new, enhanced protocols we are using to keep you and us safe.  To make an appointment, give us a call at 978-704-8329

, and for more information, visit our website: www.brianmcdowelldds.com.

Thank you for being part of our practice family.  We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back to our practice!

Sincerely,

Brian C McDowell D.D.S. LVIF, Christine Hache R.D.H., Marylisa Allen R.D.H., Gabriella Perez

Continually Learning

February 22, 2017

Today, I would like to talk about our continual learning. We have recently attended the Yankee Dental Congress and got to take some amazing classes! The learning not only happens in the classrooms, but talking with our colleagues gives us as much, if not more information that we can take back and put to use immediately in our office. We have invested in our continual learning so that we can continue to provide excellent care to all of our guests as well as learning new and better ways of doing the procedures we are already doing. We have always felt that learning is and will always be part of what we do. The Yankee Dental Congress provided an opportunity to hear speakers that we have not heard before and get a little different perspective. Along with the classes, we were able to check out the latest and greatest new innovations that are or will soon be available. The future is full of plenty of new technology to make our lives easier and your experiences even better with us! We will continue to invest in our education and technology to continue to provide you with outstanding dentistry and a fantastic experience when you come into our office!

Next up will be a trip back to LVI (Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies) to again get updated on the procedures that we offer. Then, we will be attending the Dental Sleep Medicine Conference in June. We have added dental sleep treatments to what we offer in the office, so not only can we give you the smile you have always wanted, but now, we may be able to help save your, or someone you love, life! Following this will be the annual IAPA (International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics) meeting.

As you can see, we have a full education schedule along with our time in the office. I know there are some who read this that are not guests in our office and I have a question for you: Does your current dentist continually learn? Do they keep up on all of the advancements? Or, do they only take the “minimum” required to get and keep one’s license? These are questions we all should be asking of ALL our healthcare providers! Please contact our office with any questions or for more information from us. Call Bettina at 978-401-9081 or e-mail Dr. McDowell directly at: [email protected] or visit our website at: www.brianmcdowelldds.com

Although I am still in the midst of treatment, I have to say that Dr. McDowell has gone above and beyond in his treatment of my TMD, making himself available when necessary and doing his best to provide treatment, comfort, and relief. Dr. McDowell's staff has been excellent to work with as well; I find them very accommodating and in this COVID era, they seem to do everything possible to ensure that they provide treatment in a clean and sterile environment.
