Editorial policy

Dental and medical information can affect real decisions about people's health and money. This page explains how we try to make our guides accurate, balanced and useful.

Sources

• We base factual statements on published sources: national dental associations, hospitals and academic medical centres, public health bodies and peer-reviewed research.
• Sources are linked in the article so you can check them. A link does not mean the organisation endorses us.
• When sources disagree or evidence is limited, we say so.

What we don't publish

• Prices, success rates or statistics that we cannot attribute to a source.
• Patient testimonials, before-and-after claims or reviews we cannot verify.
• Guarantees or promises about treatment results.
• Names or credentials of experts who did not actually take part.

Review status

Every article states its review status near the top:

• Editorially reviewed: checked by our editorial team for clarity, sourcing and balance. It has not been reviewed by a clinician.
• Medically reviewed by [name]: shown only when a named, qualified clinician has actually reviewed that version of the article, with the review date.

Use of AI tools

We may use AI tools to help research and draft articles. Every article is checked against its cited sources before publication, and AI-assisted drafts are held to the same standards as everything else on this page.

Updates and corrections

We show the date an article was published and, when it changes meaningfully, the date it was updated. If you think something is wrong or out of date, please tell us through the contact page. We review every correction request and fix confirmed errors.

Commercial relationships

Dental Careflow is funded through its partnership with one dental clinic, Natural Clinic in Istanbul, as described on our About page. Commercial relationships do not change what our articles say about risks, alternatives or costs, and articles do not recommend specific clinics.
