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

Enjoy a Great Smile With Our General Dental Care

At Brian C. McDowell, DDS, the people who trust us with their smiles are so important to us that we prefer to call them guests rather than just patients. When you pay us a visit, we’ll treat you like a guest in our home. We’ll provide you personalized dental care that we hope will exceed your expectations.

One of the ways we help our guests enjoy optimal oral health is through our general dental care. Along with proper brushing and flossing at home, these services form the basis of a good dental hygiene program and will allow you to maintain your best smile yet.

Below are a few of the general dental treatments we offer:

  • Dental Cleanings and Exams – It’s important to visit us every six months for a routine checkup. We’ll clean and polish all your teeth and give you a complete dental exam, including checking for cavities using an electronic cavity detector.
  • Gum Disease Treatment – Dr. McDowell will use special instruments to perform a “deep cleaning” of your teeth and gums. He will remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria to allow your gums to heal.
  • Preventive Dental Treatments – We offer fluoride treatments and varnishes that can help prevent cavities and even reverse early-stage tooth decay. We may also recommend tooth sealants, thin plastic coatings that form a protective barrier against disease-causing bacteria.
  • Athletic Mouthguards – Our custom-fit mouthguards provide more protection, fit more comfortably, and last longer than store-bought appliances. Give your one and only smile the best protection you can.
  • Dry Mouth and Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatments – Our team can provide advice and specialty products to help you manage both of these chronic conditions. Your mouth will feel better, and you can avoid embarrassing social situations.

Our Fitchburg general dentistry will help you maintain a radiant smile. Call us today at 978-401-9081 to schedule your next dental visit. You can also use our convenient online form to request an appointment.

Called Dr. McDowell's office end of June and explain to him that my son was getting married in August and I wanted to replace my discolored top teeth with some beautiful white veneers. He not only gave me beautiful white teeth but confidence in myself that I never had. His staff made you feel like family with an welcoming atmosphere. Thank you again Dr. McDowell and staff.

Common Questions About General Dentistry

General dentistry includes a range of dental services designed to keep your mouth healthy and your teeth in good shape. It includes routine dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive services like fluoride treatments and tooth sealants, custom athletic mouthguards, and therapy for chronic problems like bad breath and dry mouth.

General dentistry is important because it is the first line of defense against many common dental problems such as cavities and gum disease. Regular checkups twice a year give us the opportunity to monitor your oral health and provide early treatment for these problems before they have the chance to worsen and cause bigger damage.

While a dental specialist is a dentist who has received additional training in a particular area, a specialist would not be your best choice to provide general dental care. By going to a general dentist who routinely treats common oral problems, such as Dr. McDowell, you’ll receive the best care possible for your smile. Your general dentist will be able to provide the most knowledgeable treatment with optimal results.
