To our Blue Back Dental patients,

In accordance with the Connecticut State Dental Association’s resolution, and in support of Governor Lamont’s “Stay Safe, Stay Home” executive order, we are extending our temporary closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic until at least May 21st 2020. We are available to manage emergency dental needs only during this time. For any patients who have currently scheduled appointments between April 23rd and May 20th our front desk team will be reaching out to reschedule. Rescheduling will occur closer to our reopening date in order to avoid having to move appointments multiple times in case Governor Lamont extends the closures, distancing and safety measure guidelines further.

Blue Back Dental is pleased to welcome Dr. Wendy Austin, DMD to our team, effective February 2020.

We’re pleased to announce that we’re holding our Halloween Candy Buy Back program again this November 4-8, 2019.

It’s time to head back to school, are your children’s teeth ready?

Late summer brings a flurry of back to school shopping for clothes, school supplies, and sports equipment, but make sure you also have everything your child will need for good oral hygiene and safety.

Interested in a brighter, whiter smile? When whitening toothpaste or over-the-counter whitening treatments aren’t getting your teeth as white as you would like, Blue Back Dental offers several convenient and affordable teeth-whitening options.

You probably think you know how to take care of your teeth: brush twice a day and floss regularly, right? That’s certainly a good start, but there’s actually a lot more to keeping your teeth healthy. Follow these guidelines for better dental health.

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day for a full two minutes, thoroughly cleaning all surfaces of the teeth. It sounds easy, but it can be difficult to stick to that guideline, and inadequate or irregular brushing can lead to plaque buildup, tooth decay, and periodontal disease.

If you’ve ever needed to have mouth impressions taken for a mouth guard, night guard, retainer, or for teeth whitening purposes, you may be familiar with the messy, gooey, bad-tasting substance that dentists used to take models of your teeth and mouth.

That icky, uncomfortable process is now a thing of the past! Blue Back Dental now uses digital scanning to measure your mouth and create a model, all from the comfort of our own practice.

Blue Back Dental is pleased to announce that we’re holding our annual Halloween Candy Buy Back from November 2-9 (excluding November 4 when we’re closed).

When you’re looking to improve your smile, Blue Back Dental offers many different cosmetic services, including adult orthodontic options such as Invisalign®.
