Peer Review Mediation

Dentistry is a profession of technical expertise and proper doctor-patient communication.  However, occasionally treatment outcomes may not be satisfactory.  The reason behind many care disputes is often rooted in miscommunication.

If you have concerns about the care you received, then Peer Review mediation can help.  SMDS Peer Review provides a free, confidential, impartial environment to review care and facilitate communication between the dentist and patient.  Often, it allows each party to see the other’s point of view and resolve issues amicably.

SMDS Peer Review committee dentists volunteer their time and expertise to make this vital service available to Southern Maryland residents.

If you would like to utilize SMDS peer review service, please download and submit this form.

    SMDS General Membership Meeting. 

    Speaker: Dr. Brittany Bergeron

    Topic: Bioactivity in Everyday Practice

    Bioactive materials have been advancing patient care for over a decade, yet many clinicians are unaware of the positive impact they can provide to daily patient outcomes, keeping the materials in "Golden Box" only to be used in special situations. Bioactive dental materials are indicated and appropriate to use in most restorative scenarios. When used properly, they ensure quality, long lasting restorations for our patients. This lecture invites you to rethink your caries management practices by combining patient centricity and practice efficiency for a patient-practice win-win.

    Please email Valerie@SMDSDentists.org  to pre-register for the meeting (free for members).
