Clinic evidence boundary

Documents before any clinic details.

This outline explains the order ToothAbroad expects: light clinic profile first, document check second, and only later any consented reference-ID workflow or commercial discussion.

Light profile first

Clinic description, main treatments, website, Google profile, public contact details and optional approved photos/logo come before any commercial discussion.

Document check

Warranty/deposit/refund wording, written-estimate process, approved media and public facts should be documented before ToothAbroad considers any clinic introduction.

Consent boundary

A clinic introduction can only happen later when the patient explicitly consents to share details with that clinic and receives a ToothAbroad reference ID.

Reference ID + reporting

If introductions ever happen, each one must carry a ToothAbroad reference ID and be reconciled from written records, not phone promises.

Outcome follow-up

ToothAbroad may separately ask patients about booking, deposit, treatment and issues at 30 days, 6 months and 12 months when explicit consent exists.

Paid placements do not control ranking

Payment cannot buy better editorial language, hidden risk removal, certification, medical approval, or guaranteed top placement.

No exclusivity

Clinics are not locked in. ToothAbroad can compare multiple evidence-labelled clinic candidates per destination.

Written workflow

Clinic communication should run by email/WhatsApp. No mandatory calls for patients who requested written communication.

What blocks a later introduction?

  • The clinic has not sent enough public profile information to label accurately.
  • Warranty, deposit, refund or written-estimate wording is unclear.
  • The patient has not explicitly consented to a clinic introduction.
  • The patient asks only for general information and does not want clinic contact.
  • The submission is spam, competitor research, vendor outreach, or an obvious test.

Editorial protection

Clinics can correct facts, send updated pricing, share real photos, and explain warranty terms. They cannot buy praise, hide patient-risk notes, or force phone-call workflows on users who requested written communication.
