Sources & Data Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

At DentifyBD, trust begins with the quality of our data.

As Bangladesh’s dedicated dental directory platform, we believe patients deserve access to reliable, transparent, and professionally verified information when searching for dentists and dental clinics.

This Sources & Data Policy explains where our information comes from, how it is reviewed, and the standards we follow before publishing or updating dentist and clinic profiles.

Our Approach to Healthcare Information

Healthcare decisions are important.

When choosing a dentist, patients often need more than just a name and registration number. They want to understand a dentist’s qualifications, specialties, experience, practice locations, and available treatment services.

Our goal is to bridge the gap between official registration information and the practical details patients need to make informed decisions.

DentifyBD does not replace official regulatory records. Instead, we complement them by organizing and presenting additional patient-focused information such as qualifications, specialties, experience, chamber locations, clinic affiliations, and practice details that are often difficult to find in one place.

Why DentifyBD Exists

Official healthcare registries serve an important role in confirming professional registration and licensing.

However, patients frequently need additional information that may not always be available through a single official source, including:

• Full educational qualifications
• Dental specialties and areas of expertise
• Years of professional experience
• Practice locations and chamber details
• Clinic affiliations
• Consultation information
• Contact details
• Geographic search and filtering options

At the same time, many online healthcare articles and “top dentist” lists are created primarily for marketing or search engine purposes and may not accurately represent a dentist’s qualifications, experience, or professional background.

DentifyBD was created to provide a more transparent, verification-based approach to dental discovery in Bangladesh.

Our Primary Sources of Information

DentifyBD collects and reviews information from multiple sources to improve accuracy and completeness.

1. Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BM&DC)

The Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BM&DC) is one of the most important sources used during our verification process.

Where information is available, we may review and cross-check:

• Professional registration status
• Dentist identity
• Registration information
• Professional credentials

BM&DC-related information helps us verify that listed dental professionals are associated with recognized professional registration.

2. Government and Institutional Sources

We may use information published by:

• Government healthcare institutions
• Public hospitals
• Dental colleges
• Medical colleges
• Universities
• Professional organizations
• Regulatory authorities

These sources help support credential verification and professional background review.

3. Hospital and Clinic Sources

Official information published by hospitals and dental clinics may be reviewed to verify:

• Practice locations
• Chamber schedules
• Professional affiliations
• Clinic details
• Specialty services

Where available, clinic and hospital information helps improve profile completeness and accuracy.

4. Dentist and Clinic Submissions

DentifyBD receives a significant number of profile requests, registration inquiries, updates, and corrections directly from dentists and dental clinics throughout Bangladesh.

Many dental professionals voluntarily contact DentifyBD to:

• Create professional profiles
• Update qualifications
• Add chamber information
• Correct outdated records
• Provide clinic details
• Submit professional documentation

However, submission alone does not guarantee publication.

All submitted information is subject to DentifyBD’s verification and editorial review process before publication or profile updates are approved.

5. Professional Documentation

Where appropriate, DentifyBD may review documentation provided by dentists or authorized clinic representatives.

Examples may include:

• Professional qualifications
• Degree certificates
• Specialty certifications
• BM&DC registration details
• Professional biographies
• Practice information

Supporting documentation may be requested when additional verification is necessary.

6. Direct Editorial Research

Our editorial team may conduct independent research to improve profile quality and directory coverage.

This process may include:

• Reviewing multiple professional sources
• Cross-checking information consistency
• Identifying duplicate profiles
• Verifying clinic affiliations
• Reviewing publicly available professional records

This additional review helps improve data quality and reduce inaccuracies.

Information We Publish

Depending on availability and verification status, DentifyBD may publish:

• Dentist names
• Professional qualifications
• Academic degrees
• Specialty information
• Professional experience
• BM&DC registration information where available
• Chamber locations
• Clinic affiliations
• Consultation details
• Contact information
• Professional biographies
• Practice information

Our objective is to provide information that is useful, transparent, and relevant to patients.

Verification Standards

Before publication, information may be reviewed using one or more verification methods.

These may include:

• BM&DC registration review
• Credential verification
• Cross-referencing multiple sources
• Clinic verification
• Chamber information validation
• Documentation review
• Editorial consistency checks

Profiles that cannot be reasonably verified may be withheld, revised, or removed until sufficient verification can be completed.

Information Quality Principles

DentifyBD follows several core quality standards.

Accuracy

We strive to publish information supported by reliable and verifiable sources.

Transparency

Whenever available, we clearly display qualifications, specialties, chamber information, and professional details.

Consistency

Information is reviewed across multiple sources whenever possible.

Completeness

Profiles containing comprehensive and useful information are prioritized over incomplete listings.

Editorial Independence

Publication decisions are based on verification and information quality rather than promotional influence.

What We Do Not Rely On

To maintain data quality, DentifyBD does not rely solely on:

• Anonymous submissions
• Unverified self-declared claims
• Purchased placements
• Marketing materials without verification
• Sponsored rankings
• Promotional content presented as factual information

Information that cannot be reasonably verified may not be published.

Reviews, Ratings, and Popularity Metrics

DentifyBD recognizes that online reviews and popularity metrics can sometimes be manipulated, purchased, or may not accurately represent professional qualifications.

For this reason, online review counts, social media popularity, advertising activity, or marketing visibility are not treated as primary verification sources.

Professional credentials, verification standards, and factual information remain the foundation of our directory.

No Paid Inclusion or Verification

DentifyBD does not sell professional verification.

A dentist or clinic cannot purchase verification status, credential approval, or professional legitimacy within our directory.

All dentists and clinics are subject to the same verification and editorial review standards regardless of commercial relationships.

Data Updates and Maintenance

Healthcare information changes over time.

Dentists may change chambers, clinics may relocate, and qualifications may be updated.

To improve accuracy, DentifyBD regularly reviews information through:

• Editorial review
• Dentist submissions
• Clinic submissions
• Verification updates
• User-reported corrections
• Ongoing data maintenance

Our goal is to keep information as current and useful as possible.

Correction Requests

Despite our verification efforts, errors may occasionally occur.

Dentists, clinics, institutions, and users may request corrections for:

• Incorrect qualifications
• Outdated chamber information
• Contact information errors
• Clinic affiliation changes
• Duplicate listings
• Other factual inaccuracies

Verified correction requests are reviewed and processed as promptly as possible.

Our Commitment to Trust

DentifyBD was founded on a simple principle: patients deserve access to reliable dental information based on professional verification rather than marketing claims.

By combining official registration verification, professional documentation, direct submissions from dental professionals, editorial review, and ongoing data maintenance, we aim to build one of Bangladesh’s most trusted dental information platforms.

Our commitment is to accuracy, transparency, and continuous improvement so that patients can discover qualified dentists and dental clinics with greater confidence.
