Dear Patient:

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You'll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (207) 808-7355 or visit our website at www.dental-holistic.com

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,
Maine Center for Dental Medicine

Biologic dentist in Skowhegan, Maine describes the advantages of ozone treatment

Posted By: Dr. Imam Mohammed | Published On: Dec 20, 2019 | Ozone Dentistry

Understanding the advantages of ozone treatment

First, patients need to understand how ozone works. Ozone is a naturally occurring agent that is powerful and effective at addressing several dental issues. Because of its ability to kill bacteria and viruses, it can be used as an alternative to antibiotics and common dental chemicals. Ozone is a gas that can be administered with specialized devices, and may be used along with treatments such as:

Cavity fillings
Root canal /endodontic therapy
Cold sores
Periodontal disease
Sensitive teeth

At the Maine Center for Dental Medicine, we find that this gas can provide oral health and wellness for our patients that they may not be able to achieve with alternative methods. By integrating this gas into dental services, patients can rest easy knowing that they are using a safe and biologic way of treating their condition and improving their health.

Who is a candidate for ozone therapy?

At our practice, we find that many patients will benefit from ozone treatment in our office. Patients can ask about this and other biologic dentistry services that we offer and determine if they are appropriate candidates for treatment. Most patients will undergo an initial evaluation before they integrate ozone therapy into their future services.

Benefits of biologic dentistry

At the Maine Center for Dental Medicine, Dr. Mohammed Imam and Dr. Shafiulla Khan and their team of professionals find that with biologic care, patients can not only treat their dental conditions, but do so in a way that does not negatively impact the rest of their smile or body. By focusing on offering biologic alternatives, our team can help patients address common dental problems in a safe and effective manner. Biologic dentistry is used to achieve optimal oral health by avoiding harmful chemicals and materials that may have negative aftereffects. Our practice avoids the use of materials such as silver amalgam, which has been used in dental practices for many years for the treatment of cavities. Cavities are holes that can form in the enamel of the teeth, and many dentists today still use silver amalgam fillings to address this condition. However, due to the high mercury content, this material is not biocompatible with the body and can leave patients at risk for mercury toxicity. Instead, our team uses composite resin, which is not only safer but also more aesthetic. If you are interested in quality care and treatments that maintain health and wellness, you should speak to our team about this and other biologic dentistry services available.
