How Maine Dentist license verification works
A Dentist in Maine is licensed by the ME Dental Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.
Fields returned for this board: license_number license_type status expires first_licensure mailing history actions cases other_licenses general.
Board note: ALMS regulator 384 (Board of Dental Practice): DENTIST, DENTAL HYGIENIST / INDEPENDENT PRACTICE DENTAL HYGIENIST captured live; dental_assistant mapped to EXPANDED FUNCTION DENTAL ASSISTANT (category EFA exists; printed type name not yet seen in a sweep — DENTAL RADIOGRAPHER is the common assistant-level credential and is NOT matched).
What a Dentist license check returns
| Field check | Passes when |
|---|---|
license_number | Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros |
name | Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname |
license_type | The record is a Dentist license, strictly (no near-miss types) |
status | The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag |
expires | Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it |
disciplinary_actions | Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped |
Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.
Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact and multistate Dentist licenses
Dentist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact. When the Maine record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
