Not much happens in Abbot, Maine. At least not when Dr. Paul Cloutier was growing up there in the 1970s and 1980s. It was the kind of place where you know everybody and everybody knows your business. Its a place of simple lessonsaccountability, honesty, hard work, boredom. Dr. Cloutier grew up in a large working-class family, lots of meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Some Dr. Cloutiers earliest life experiences convinced him that he should pay attention in school. He attended schools in Guilford, Maine where he earned good grades, was active in sports and was a known to be teachers favorite.
Dr. Cloutier graduated from Boston College in 1990 with a BS in economics. After graduating, he learned that an individual really needs a PHD in economics to earn a good job in that field. Unqualified for most careers, he secured a job where qualifications arent very importantpolitics. He moved to Washington DC and worked for Senator George Mitchell. Although Dr. Cloutier enjoyed politics and his time in Washington, he ruled it out as a career. He knew that he wanted to return to Maine and work with his hands. It was shortly after that he enrolled in Dental school.
Dr. Cloutier likes to focus his time on restoring and maintaining optimal dental function. This means different things for different patients. He devotes most of his professional life trying to figure out what an individual patient believes to be his or her optimal function is, honoring it, and earning their trust. Although Dr. Cloutier can not promise perfect outcomes, he does guarantee that he is constantly striving for perfection.
Dr. Cloutier loves what he has built at Main Street Dental because he has surrounded himself with a remarkable group of employees. He receives amount tremendous satisfaction knowing that my employees and I are helping people achieve their optimal dental health.
Dr. Cloutier and his wife Kathy reside Cumberland, Maine with their two children. When Dr. Cloutiers is not working or spending time with his family he can be found golfing, dabbling in woodworking, or spending sometime in the remote areas of northern Maine where he enjoys fly fishing, canoeing and the absence of cell phone coverage.

I hate going to the Dentist (for fear of hearing the dreaded drill) but seeing Renee and getting to "visit" with her makes all that anxiety go away. She is extremely professional, personable and caring. Main Street Dental is so fortunate to have such an asset to their team!! Our family feels very fortunate to have found such a great Dental establishment!!
