Editorial and medical review policy

Who writes our pages

Each health page is written by a dentist from our team, and the page names that dentist as the author. You can read about each dentist, their degrees and their Nepal Medical Council (NMC) number on our dentists page.

Pages that are not about health, such as this one or our privacy policy, are written by our clinic team and checked by the clinic’s management.

How each health page is checked before it goes live

We use a two-person check on every page about health, treatment or cost.

1. The author writes the page from a written plan that lists the questions patients ask and the sources to use.
2. A second dentist reviews it. They check every clinical fact against its source, check that risks and other options are shown fairly, and correct anything that is wrong or unclear.
3. Both are registered dentists. Both the author and the reviewer must be on the NMC register.
4. The page shows the dates. Each health page shows when it was first published, when it was last updated and when it was last reviewed.

Until a page has had its review, it does not go live.

Which sources we use

We use the most reliable source we can find, in this order:

We link to the source next to the fact where a number is used, and we list the main sources at the end of the page.

How we date facts

Some facts change, such as prices, laws and insurance rules. For these we show an “as of” date on the page, for example “as of October 2026”. Prices on our prices page carry the date they were last set. Any price on the site is a guide; the real cost depends on what a dentist finds when they examine you.

How we use AI tools

Some drafts on this site are prepared with the help of AI writing tools. We use them to help organise research and write first drafts. We do not trust them for facts.

Before any page goes live, a dentist reads the whole page, checks each fact against its source, adds their own clinical experience and fixes anything that is wrong. We never use AI to make up people, patient stories, reviews, photos of patients or photos of our team.

Independence and conflicts of interest

• No sponsored content. No company pays for a mention, a link or a place on any page.
• No gifts for mentions. We do not accept gifts from makers of dental products in return for writing about them.
• Our own services. This is the website of a dental clinic, so pages about treatments describe services we offer. We say so plainly, we show other options fairly, and we do not compare ourselves with other clinics.
• Declared interests. If an author or reviewer has a personal or financial link to anything a page discusses, it is stated on that page.

The Nepal Medical Council’s Code of Ethics also limits what a clinic may say about itself. We follow it: no claims of being the best, no promises about results and no offers.

How to check a dentist’s registration

Anyone can check whether a dentist is registered with the Nepal Medical Council:

1. Open the NMC’s registered doctor search.
2. Type the dentist’s full name or NMC number.
3. Check that the name, number and degree match what the dentist told you.

How often we review pages

We change the “updated” date only when the content changes in a way that matters, and we say what changed.
