General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Site offers 'CONSCIOUS SEDATION' by name; patient remains conscious, not asleep/unaware. [s1]

| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (homepage, smile makeover page and fee schedule) and its Google listing: the dentists' names now rest on the website, which names its head dentist, Dr. Elkie Lumagui, and its founder, Dr. Jens Knab; the published-prices note now describes the clinic's own fee schedule; summary and notes updated. |
| 2026-09-25 | Aligned with the clinic's entry on maniladentalrating.com: recorded General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) (no) from sources read on 2026-09-25. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (fee schedule, homepage, services, implant, orthodontics and consultation-package pages) and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews). Recorded: cleaning, filling, crown, implant and consultation prices published; on-site panoramic/cephalometric X-ray and CBCT for implant planning; pediatric and emergency care; orthodontics; WhatsApp contact; Saturday hours; owner replies to reviews including critical ones; two low-rated reviews describe long waits at the appointment time; no sign of review manipulation; no TripAdvisor profile found. Still unverified: a standalone X-ray fee (the consultation package advertises a free panoramic X-ray) and other review platforms. |

| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s2 [https://doctor.global/clinic/tooth-go-dental-clinic]: https://doctor.global/clinic/tooth-go-dental-clinic (getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN doctor.global, rotten) |
