Adam E. Saltz

Dr. Adam Saltz’s path to periodontics started right here in Maine. His journey came full circle when he returned in 2020, bringing with him the same passion for patient care that first inspired him as a high school student shadowing a local specialist.

Dr. Saltz graduated from the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, where he obtained his Master of Science degree and Certificates in Periodontics and IV Conscious Sedation. He completed his dental training at Nova Southeastern University, as part of their accelerated dual admission program. While there, he also received a Master of Public Health degree. Dr. Saltz is the managing editor for Decisions in Dentistry and lectures nationally on periodontal and peri-implant conditions, implant placement, and dental hygiene. He is a key opinion leader and industry consultant for several companies.

Dr. Saltz won the 2020 Dr. and Mrs. Gerald M. Kramer Scholar Award for Excellence, presented to the nation’s top overall graduating resident for outstanding character, service, leadership, and academic achievement. He is past president of the Maine Dental Association and chairs multiple state and regional committees as the District 1 Representative to the ADA New Dentist Committee. Dr. Saltz is an adjunct professor for the KCU College of Dental Medicine. He was recognized by the American Dental Association in 2023 with their 10 Under 10 Award for his contributions in education, public health, and organized dentistry as a new dentist. Dr. Saltz is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology.

Fun fact— he is the real “spin doc,” teaching indoor cycling classes at Jibe Portland and Yarmouth. He enjoys tennis and traveling with his wife, Natalie.
