Website Terms of Use
Last updated: October 5, 2026
Purpose and scope
These Terms of Use describe the permitted use of the Calm Dental Care website. This website provides general information about our practice, dental services, and oral health.
These terms apply to website use. They do not replace treatment consent forms, patient agreements, financial arrangements, or instructions provided directly by your healthcare provider.
Educational information—not individualized advice
Website content is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or substitute for an examination and advice from a qualified dental or medical professional.
Do not disregard professional advice or delay seeking care because of information you read on this website. Treatment suitability depends on your individual health, clinical findings, and other circumstances.
Visiting this website, reading its content, or submitting a general inquiry does not, by itself, establish a dentist-patient relationship with Dr. Douglas R. Maxson or Calm Dental Care.
Emergencies and online communications
This website and its forms are not intended for emergency communications. Online submissions may not be reviewed immediately or outside office hours.
For an urgent dental concern, call (408) 996-0176 for guidance. For a life-threatening emergency, including difficulty breathing or swallowing, call 911 or seek immediate emergency care.
Do not rely on an online message to obtain urgent treatment or time-sensitive advice.
Appointment requests
Unless the scheduling system explicitly provides a confirmed booking, submitting an appointment request does not reserve or confirm an appointment. Our team will contact you to confirm availability and scheduling details.
Please provide accurate contact information. If you do not receive confirmation, call the office before assuming an appointment has been scheduled.
Privacy and information submitted
Our Website Privacy Policy describes how information collected through the website is handled. Our Notice of Privacy Practices addresses protected health information where applicable.
Please provide only the information requested by a form. Avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive medical, financial, or identification information through general contact forms. Contact the office if you need an appropriate way to share records or confidential information.
Submitting an inquiry does not, by itself, authorize unrelated marketing communications. Any communication permissions are addressed separately.
Treatment descriptions, photographs, and testimonials
Treatment descriptions explain possible approaches and benefits; they do not guarantee eligibility, results, comfort levels, or recovery timelines.
Individual outcomes vary. Testimonials reflect individual experiences. Clinical photographs show particular cases, while stock photographs, illustrations, and other illustrative images may not depict actual patients or treatment results.
Your recommended care will be discussed following an appropriate evaluation.
Fees, offers, and financing
Website pricing and promotional offers are subject to their stated eligibility requirements, exclusions, and expiration dates. Please confirm applicable details with the office before scheduling or beginning treatment.
Insurance estimates are not guarantees of coverage or payment. Third-party financing is subject to the provider’s approval requirements and terms.
Our Financial Policies and any written treatment estimate or payment agreement provide additional information. Website content does not replace those documents.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise identified, website text, graphics, photographs, logos, and design elements are owned by Calm Dental Care or used with permission or under license. Third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.
You may view and print website content for personal, noncommercial use. Other reproduction, modification, distribution, or commercial use requires permission from the applicable rights holder, except as permitted by law.
Acceptable use
You may use this website for lawful purposes. You may not misuse its forms, submit fraudulent information, introduce malicious software, attempt unauthorized access, or interfere with the website’s operation.
Third-party websites and services
This website may link to external websites or use third-party tools for scheduling, financing, maps, or other functions.
Those providers may have separate terms and privacy practices. Calm Dental Care does not control their content, availability, or operation. A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of all information on an external website.
Accuracy, availability, and changes
We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate, current information. However, content may contain errors or become outdated, and uninterrupted website availability cannot be guaranteed.
Please confirm important information, including hours, services, offers, and office policies, directly with our team. We may update website content and these terms, with the revision date displayed above.
Website limitations and your rights
To the extent permitted by applicable law, website content and functionality are provided “as available,” without a guarantee of uninterrupted access or freedom from technical errors.
Any limitation of liability applies only to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, waives applicable patient or consumer rights, or limits professional responsibilities relating to dental care.
