We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
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.

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with your practice. Everyone is so nice to work with and it is a pleasure to visit The dentists and hygienists are very knowledgeable and professional. I really appreciate the care they take and the better choices of dentistry that are available.
I have had problems in my mouth along with autoimmune conditions for many years. All the dentists previous would not even consider replacing any of my mercury amalgam fillings. I was very happy to visit this office and they not only would help me but did it using many precautions that not only protected them but me as well through the process.
I knew for many years that these toxic fillings were probably contributing to my illnesses and since getting all the work done, my health continues to improve. My mouth issues have been steadily clearing up. My food sensitivities are much better and my autoimmune conditions are getting better as well. I wish more dentists practiced this way. How important a clean mouth is to overall good health.
I can’t say enough of how happy I am to have found this gem in Skowhegan Maine. I was ready to travel many miles to find someone to help me and was blessed to have them right close by. Thank you so much for helping me get my life back.”

I visited MCDM for the first time yesterday. The staff (receptionists, hygienists and dentist) were all exceptionally friendly, warm and accommodating. They even squeezed me in for a cleaning, even though that is not standard practice for the first visit. I was most impressed, however, by the thoroughness of my assessment, the ethic of trying out simple solutions for problem areas before resorting to more invasive procedures and the amount of education I received on self care practices … techniques for brushing, flossing, etc that I wish I had known years ago. It’s worth booking an initial visit for this educational experience alone.”

Dr. Imam is wonderful with my two kids. He is attentive, comforting and knowledgeable and always smiling.

I visiting today for removal of two mercury fillings, and it was a breeze. I was completely comfortable at all stages of the process, it was much shorter than I ancipated, and I have had no pain whatsoever. Often after visiting a dentist, you will have mouth or jaw pain, but Dr. Khan is so gentle and careful there are no repercsussions. I was given liposomal vit c before the procedure, and activated charcoal after, and I was completely confident that the procedure would go well. I cannot wait to go back again, the staff is truly outastanding!”

I have been researching holistic dentistry for several years. After a recent cancer diagnosis, and more research, I chose to follow this path. This was the most comprehensive evaluation I have ever experienced. From measuring PH and bacteria levels, to digital 3D radiographs, and the extensive health history interview. The staff knew that I was traveling a distance to visit, and were able to combine my first office visit with a appointment with the hygienist in order to make only one trip . I was so very impressed with the professional and experienced staff! Dr. Khan was wonderful, so kind and gentle. He made excellent recommendations after reviewing all the X-rays with me. And my hygienist was fantastic, full of information and suggestions to improve my oral health. The cleaning was painless and thorough. I have already made another appointment for ozone therapy, and am planning on participating in mercury removal and detoxification. I know I am on the right path to total wellness.”

When you work with people who are friendly, knowledgeable, and highly skilled you relax and, believe it or not, an element of fun creeps into a visit to the dentist.

My eight years old son is happy about each experience he had when he comes to see Dr. Khan except for two things : he said that the needle for the anesthesia is hurting “a little bit” and also that Dr. Khan doesn’t know how to count! There is no doubt that Dr Khan knows how to handle kids; he is so gentle and patient with them. He explains in detail what he is going to do and will always answers their questions; actually he does the same with me with kindness. I admire his high quality level of knowledge and professionalism; I appreciate that he is still looking for new product with less toxicity. Have your questions ready for him when you visit him (his time is precious) and you will see how his answers are sometimes surprising. If I have to describe Dr Khan in few words, I would say : “he is a loving, truthful and conscientious professional person”.”

I have a hard time finding someone closer to avoid the long drive that has the experience you can trust. Flouride is on an MSDS sheet as a class 3 health hazard which means severely hazardous. Class 4 kills. There are safer alternatives. Mercury is also class 3. If you expect dentists to know better, here is the place to go. They found a polyp in deep in my nasal passage. I bet my primary care provider would never have that found out.

Dr. Imam introduced me to a new world of dentistry, He explained a step by step holistic protocol for good oral well-being for a sound body and mind. My son (9 yrs) also sees Dr. Imam and Jake the Hygienist. They are great with kids. A wonderful experience.

I’m a lady who is 51 yrs old. I discovered this practice on the internet after having used contemporary dentistry my whole life which didn’t suit my natural wholesome lifestyle. I’ve been coming here for several years. When I first came here my gums had already begun deteriorating. I am amazed that at my age they could have been renewed! My hygenist taught me all natural ways of taking better care of my teeth and so now my gums and teeth are in an excellent, healthy condition now! I’m so thankful and so blessed that they have been saved! This most recent visit was to replace a failed filling. I have never liked the feel of the numbness from the novacane and so asked to have it done without. The dentist did a great job slowly drilling out the old filling and replacing it, all without numbing me! I was thrilled! He did a great job of sanding down the new filling too, getting it to line up perfectly! It did not hurt at all, and I’m very sensitive to pain. I am thrilled to have found this dental practice and it’s worth the 3+ hours ride from New Hampshire!

In the past 50 years I have been in several dentist chairs scared to go b/c of the bad news I would receive. I asked all the dentist that I went to if they would Please use the white fillings ver- silver amalgam-mercury fillings, but their response was “No your teeth won’t hold them” so I ended up with Silver. I was always sick then after research I started living the Holistic life and thats when I knew I had to get those fillings out. I then found Dr. Imam from “Maine Center for Dental Medicine” an awesome caring, Dentist that gives you all the time you need and removed all those nasty silver fillings and replaced them with the White Fillings I always wanted. Jessica known as “Jake” is the Hygienist very nice, polite, such a great person and so caring.

From the receptionist who was friendly and helpful and saw that I had been entered into their system so the Professionals in the other rooms knew that I was there. The Doctors of the practice acknowledged I was there and was concern that I was not feeling well. The Dental Assistant came out and directed me to a chair so I could be waited on and then she made sure my medical information was correct in their system. She asked about my concerns. Afterwards the doctor was made aware of my issues, and came into the room as soon as possible. He took the time to see what needed to be done for of my teeth and surrounding areas. When I went to check out the receptionist was very pleasant, and she took the report from the dental assistant and scheduled an appointment for another time. The next day the office manager called to see how I was feeling and asked if they was anything I need from them to feel better. This office goes out of their way to see to their patients teeth and wellness of the mouth, and they check surrounding areas that are connected to the mouth as a whole body wellness. I would recommend this office to any one who is looking for a well informed, friendly, and professional practice. They will not be disappointed.”

He was excellent and the bonus was I had all the prep work AND crown made and put in the same day. As I always say, it is a long drive for me to the dentist, but it is well worth it. I completely trust this staff and highly recommend them to anyone! I’ve been a patient there since I was probably 4 years old and think I will be for life as long as they continue to be as advanced and excellent as they are!”

I have become an outspoken advocate of the removal of toxins from my system. The difference in my overall health has been incredible. Please do not hesitate to ask me to share my experience with anyone who might be having doubts about going through the removal process. It has been well worth the expense, time, and effort.

The technology is the latest…and Dr. Imam sat with me to talk through what my goals were. Delightful, most fun visit to the dentist I’ve ever had.”

Rating : 5 “I would say that the Maine Center For Dental Medicine. was wonderful. I went because I had broken an edge of one of my teeth. I went thinking that they would just smooth off the sharp edges of the tooth. They did more than that. they repaired the tooth. Dr. Iman was able to do it with no Novocain to boot. I was one happy camper. You’d would love this office. The office personal is wonderful and helpful. The girls that help the doctors make you feel relax and welcomed. The office is really clean and pleasant environment to wait in for your appointment. They even have coffee or tea for you to enjoy if that is your choice. I would tell you that if you choose this office you would make an excellent choice for your health. I think they are one of the top dental practice in the state. You will be well taken care of.”

I was pleased you had REAL half and half and a choice of natural sweeteners. I had an amalgam filling removed, and appreciate all the precautions everyone took to keep themselves safe, as well as me. It took a while to get the filling smoothed out on the bottom, but Dr. Imam was patient, and worked with me to get it right. I love the computer before and after pictures of my teeth; it makes me feel involved in the process. I had a wonderful appointment with Jake. She explained everything, and again, I felt involved in the care and management of my teeth. She was able to show me how I can use materials I already own (a waterpik) to improve the condition of my teeth and gums. I am sure my next inspection in twelve weeks will be much improved! A hygienist at another practice told me NOT to use the waterpik…I feel confident to use it after Jake demonstrated its correct use. I appreciate the holistic approach to teeth and the body, and use of natural medicine and supplements along with traditional treatments. I feel that this practice utilizes technology appropriately (not to much, not too little) to make the patient experience comfortable and successful. Thank you.”

I am working on my master’s degree in nursing and feel grateful to find holistic dentistry where the fillings are 100% safe. I learn something new in every visit too. Dr. Imam’s team is also top notch, making sure I’m comfortable and explaining what to expect and why they use certain procedures. They are helpful and patient with my insurance and with booking appointments, and very considerate when weather or car trouble prevented me from keeping appointments.”

Rating : 5 “My husband David and myself just had our 6 month visit with Jake, our hygienist on Tuesday, April 22nd. We were happy to see Nyla again at reception and missed that Cathy wasn’t there. We are always so well taken care of by these two on our arrival and on our departure and from home when we need to change or make an additional appointment. We were seen on time, a little early even. In following Jake’s expert and kind encouragements we are seeing improvements in the overall health of our gums and teeth. Dr. Sharma was able to fit David in for a quick dental fix. This was so appreciated that it didn’t necessitate a second visit as we have a 2 hour drive to the office. Everyone treats us so well, and we are greeted like friends or family at the reception desk and by all who work here, even those we’ve yet to meet. We also meet great people in the waiting room! We refer everyone we know to this office because of the extraordinary dental care that we’ve received and the especially warm, caring people who work here. We also appreciate that the doctors are interested in learning from patients what holistic methods they are using on their own that work well for them. We are grateful for the very good care that David has received from Dr. Vermette that allowed David to keep some teeth that others would have given up on. We wish Dr. Vermette and his wife a very happy (semi) retirement and Dr. Kahn and Dr. Imam a very happy new home in Maine.”

Have a big garen space to share if Dr. Kahn or his wife have some interest in gardening (organic for forty years) Also would like to plan a dinner sometime to welcome them to town in my house or another place nearby. Food choices? also welcome to to use our shop oven which reaches very high temps if you want to make some Nan or other dishes. Maine folks tend to give people plenty of space and privacy but we are also hospitable if people want to meet people. Let me know. Would also like to consider and organize the replacement of the metal partial with the nylon plastic version for just under $1000.00 quoted today.warm regards, albie barden”
