Dr. Dowdy’s Product of the Month!

This month, we’re highlighting one of our favorites — the Oral-B iO Electric Toothbrush! 🪥✨

With a built-in timer, pressure sensor, round brush head and thousands of oscillations per minute, it takes some of the guesswork out of brushing and helps you get a better clean at home. 🫧

Have you made the switch to an electric toothbrush yet?

A patient asked me a great question today and I had to share. I have had a lot of dental work in my life, and that has helped me to become a better practitioner for those with a lot of dental and medical anxiety. I see both sides. Being the patient is hard and being a practitioner is also challenging. Dentistry is my passion. Yes I love to fix teeth, but it is difficult knowing people dread seeing the dentist. It can be so hard, even making a dental appointment let alone showing up with a positive attitude to have a tooth fixed. I have a trauma informed base philosophy. I am here to walk this journey with you. You are in control of your care here at Dowdy Dental. We schedule extra time with each patient to make sure they feel supported. Check us out!

At Dowdy Dental, we believe positive dental experiences can start long before a child is the one sitting in the chair. 🦷💜

One way we support a trauma-informed approach to dental care is by encouraging children to watch their parents during routine visits when appropriate. Seeing Mom, Dad or even their older sibling relaxed, comfortable, and doing well can help make the dental office feel familiar, safe, and a little less intimidating. 😊

These moments give little ones a chance to see what a dental visit looks like, ask questions, and learn that taking care of their teeth is simply a normal part of taking care of themselves. 🪥✨

Sometimes, the best way to help little ones feel comfortable at the dentist is to let them see someone they trust do it first. 🥰
