Editorial Policy
How Turkey Dental Ratings maintains independence, verifies claims, and updates its index.
Independence and funding
Turkey Dental Ratings does not accept payment, products, or services from clinics in exchange for placement, higher scores, or favourable coverage. Advertising, if introduced later, will be clearly labelled and will never influence index scores or editorial rankings.
Verification standards
Every claim that affects a clinic's score must be independently checkable. Preferred sources include official accreditation registries, manufacturer partner directories, and documents published by the clinic itself. Self-declared claims without a public source are not counted.
Scoring and updates
The index is updated on an annual cycle, with interim corrections made when a verified change in accreditation, ownership, or capability is reported. The scoring weights are fixed for the full index cycle so that year-on-year comparisons remain meaningful.
Corrections and disputes
Clinics and readers may request corrections by emailing info@turkeydentalratings.com. Requests must include a link to a public source. We review each request and publish a correction note when a factual change is confirmed.
Medical disclaimer
Turkey Dental Ratings is an information index, not a medical advice service. Users should verify credentials directly with clinics and consult a qualified dental professional before making treatment decisions.
