Frequently asked

Pediatric Dentists in Maine: questions

  • How are these pediatric dentists in Maine ranked?
    The ranking weights NPPES record completeness, CMS Medicare enrollment, MIPS quality scores when available, and HRSA HPSA service. Of the 10 listed, 2 are Medicare-enrolled and 1 practices in a dental shortage area. We do not accept payment for placement.
  • Do pediatric dentists in Maine accept Medicaid?
    Maine's Medicaid program is MaineCare. Specialist participation varies. We surface Medicare enrollment as a public-program proxy on each profile, but the only authoritative answer comes from the office and the MaineCare provider directory (https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/oms/member/mainecare).
  • How do I check a pediatric dentist's license in Maine?
    Use the Maine Board of Dental Practice license-lookup at https://www.maine.gov/dental/. Confirm the license is active and check for any disciplinary actions.
  • When should I see a pediatric dentist instead of a general dentist?
    A child's first dental visit (recommended by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth); A child with significant dental anxiety or special needs; Concerns about thumb-sucking, pacifier use, or tooth-grinding.
