Privacy Policy

The short version

This website belongs to Oxford Pediatric Dentist, a dental office serving patients in Oxford, MA and the surrounding area. The site is here to explain our services and help you decide whether to call us. It has no patient portal, no online forms and no way to send us a message. The only way to reach us is by phone at (508) 893-4948.

What the website records on its own

Like nearly every website, ours runs on a server that keeps ordinary logs. These usually include your IP address, the type of browser and device you are using, the pages you viewed, the page that sent you here and the date and time of the visit.

We look at this information in general terms, such as which pages people read most. It helps us keep the site working and make the explanations clearer. We do not use it to identify you as a patient.

Cookies and basic analytics

The site may use simple analytics cookies, small files your browser stores so we can count visits and see how people move between pages like Exams & Cleanings or Extractions. These cookies do not carry your name or any dental details.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work if you do.

When you call us

A phone call is different from a website visit. When you call to book an appointment, you decide what to tell us, such as your name, a phone number, your insurance or a tooth that is bothering you. We use what you share to schedule your visit and prepare for it, and we treat it with the care you would expect from a dental office.

Please do not feel you need to share detailed health history over the phone before your visit. We can go over that together at the office.

What we do not do

We do not sell information from this website. We do not use it to build advertising profiles of visitors, and we do not ask for payment details through the site. Outside services that host the site or provide analytics may process the log and cookie data described above as part of running those services.

Children and families

This site is written for parents and adults looking for dental care. It is not designed to collect anything from children. The site has no forms, so a child reading it cannot pass personal details to us, and any contact with our office happens by phone, usually with a parent on the line.

Changes and questions

We may update this policy if the website changes, for example if we add a new feature. The current version will always be on this page. If you have a question about your privacy, our office phone line at (508) 893-4948 is the place to ask, and we will talk it through with you.
