Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Read the clinic's Facebook page in full for the past year on 2026-09-30 (232 posts, every image): beyond its 700 PHP consultation fee it publishes only time-limited promotions, no standing cleaning, filling, crown, implant or X-ray price; its X-ray and CBCT units and its children's dentistry now rest on its own posts instead of directories. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Facebook page (About and every post of the past year) and Google listing: the dentist's name, service list, contacts and address now rest on them; e-mail added to the contacts. Recorded: dentist specialization listed (pediatric dentist Dr. Dave Araral) and consultation price published (a ₱700 treatment-plan consultation; free consultations on Thursday and Friday mornings). Summary and notes no longer repeat directory data. |
| 2026-09-29 | Read the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-09-29. Recorded: no TripAdvisor listing; the page's own materials are in English; booking runs through phone calls or a Messenger DM, with no WhatsApp, LINE or structured booking request. Still unverified: itemised prices, CBCT, pediatric and emergency care. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist specializations listed, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews); confirmed the clinic has no website (the former domain now hosts unrelated Turkish-language content). Recorded: genuine premises photos on the Google listing (reception, treatment room); no owner replies possible on this unclaimed listing; at least four independent reviews describe overcharging or poor value, a recurring complaint. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, review-manipulation signals (many reviews come from single-review accounts), pediatric dentistry, emergency care (the Google category is not usable as evidence on an unclaimed listing), international-patient services, WhatsApp/LINE, English communication and online booking. |
| 2026-09-10 | Re-checked https://drdentalcarecenterdavao.com on 2026-09-10: the domain serves a Turkish-language news template titled "Drdentalcarecenterdavao Haber" whose articles are scraped health-and-beauty news from Turkish outlets, with no dental clinic content; this confirms the squatting already noted in the card's research notes, so the field is cleared. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: found a clinic website, drdentalcarecenterdavao.com (was unset). Google Maps ("Dr Dental Care Center - Ponciano") lists the cross-street as Ponciano, not Bangoy as stored; phone matches stored exactly confirming it's the same clinic, so corrected the street name. Not permanently closed. Captured first Google rating 3.5 (38 reviews) — recent reviews from ~2 months ago include complaints about pricing/service, worth monitoring — and geo coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |
