We know that the Groton area in Massachusetts has beautiful scenery, access to the arts, and the ocean to boot. Massachusetts has become so well-known for its blend of sports, the arts, the outdoors, and a diverse population. Nearly 50,000 people moved into the state last year. If you have recently moved into the Groton area, especially if you are living in our city of Ayer, MA, here is some information about the community as well as our dental services.

About the Ayer Area

Ayer and Groton are so closely related that the small city of Ayer was once a part of Groton. The two towns separated in the late 1800s. The Ayer area has a long history of service in the military, and Massachusetts especially has deep roots in independence and patriotism. Fort Stevens trained soldiers for the Civil War, while Fort Devins has trained soldiers for military service since World War I.

No matter what you are interested in, you will be able to find a way to pursue those interests in Ayer as well as in the greater Groton area. If you love walking, canoeing, or kayaking, you can hike on the Nashua River Rail Trail and float along Oxbow Lake in your kayak. You can lay out on the beach to catch some summer rays at Forge Pond or Sandy Pond Beach. Love practicing yoga? You will be able to do that as well at the Shirdi Sai Parivaar Temple, which is one of the largest Hindu temples in all of New England.

With its small population, Ayer is the perfect place to raise your children. There are youth sports and activities year-round, thanks to the parks department in the city. Ayer also boasts arts and crafts for kids, as well as a yearly arts and folk festival in the fall. There is a lot to love about the Ayer community, which is why our dentists are thrilled to serve the Ayer area.
