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

New Year, New Habits, New You!!!

January 9, 2019

Welcome to 2019 everyone! Time to start a new year! I know most start the new year by creating resolutions. I do also! Most have the normal ones- I’m going to exercise more, I’m going to eat better, I’m going to lose weight… Those are all fantastic! But, the problem is most don’t continue the follow through on them. I like to start the new year off by starting fresh. I start by getting a new toothbrush- out with the old, in with the new! This way, I know when its March 1, its time for another new brush, easy to remember this way! I also always look at how long I brush- wanting to make sure I am going the entire time my Sonicare recommends. Another part is flossing- what better way to start the new year than to resolve to floss daily! This will help keep you overall healthy as well.

These small changes will help you to keep working on your bigger resolutions. Once we start to see success in small changes, it encourages us to continue to make the bigger changes- the weight loss, the exercise, etc. So, start the New Year off with small changes that will help you stay healthy and encourage you to stay after those larger resolutions! If you would like any additional tips or techniques on brushing and flossing, feel free to contact our office.

You can call us at: 978-401-9081 ,visit our Facebook page, or e-mail me directly at: [email protected]

Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the New Year!!

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.
