| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | Advanced Smiles Dentistry | License verification 2026-08-26 against Mexico's mapped registries (RNP - SEP cédula profesional; CLUES - Secretaría de Salud): both registries were confirmed unreachable/non-functional today (RNP connection refused/timeout via WebFetch and curl; CLUES master workbook download timed out, no online search form exists). CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'Advanced Smiles Dentistry'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for 4 named doctors. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-26 | Bio Implant Center | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP (dentist-scope registry): confirmed unreachable/non-functional today (ECONNREFUSED / 20s timeout), so no search could be executed for Dr. Edgar Montano. Clinic already carries a published clinic license + COFEPRIS number on file, so the clinicLicense lookup was skipped per instructions. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental H&C Tijuana | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP and CLUES: both confirmed unreachable/non-functional today. CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'Dental H&C Tijuana'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for Dr. Héctor Ruiz, Dra. Carolina Arnaud, Dra. Yahaira García. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |

CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'Dental Solutions Tijuana'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for 5 named doctors. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentiland | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP (dentist-scope registry): confirmed unreachable/non-functional today (ECONNREFUSED / 20s timeout), so no search could be executed for Dr. Brenda Licon or Dr. Ana Tirado. Clinic already carries published COFEPRIS facility registration numbers on file, so the clinicLicense lookup was skipped per instructions. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-26 | I Love My Dentist | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP and CLUES: both confirmed unreachable/non-functional today. CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'I Love My Dentist'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for Dr. Ricardo Guevara. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-26 | My Baja Dental | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP and CLUES: both confirmed unreachable/non-functional today. CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'My Baja Dental'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for Dr. Enrique Hernández. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-26 | New Age Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-26 against CLUES: registry's master-file download timed out and it has no search form, so this clinic's license could not be found or ruled false; recorded null. No individual dentists are named on the clinic's site, so no RNP dentist-registry lookups were attempted. |
| 2026-08-26 | Pacific Implant Center | License verification 2026-08-26 against CLUES: registry's master-file download timed out and it has no search form, so this clinic's license could not be found or ruled false; recorded null. No individual dentists are named on the clinic's site, so no RNP dentist-registry lookups were attempted. |
| 2026-08-26 | Ramos Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP and CLUES: both confirmed unreachable/non-functional today. CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'Ramos Dental Clinic'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for Leonardo Ramos Barba, Itzel Salinas, Verail Ruacho.

CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'Tijuana Dental Studio'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for Dr. Elizabeth, Dr. Lamas. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-26 | Trust Dental Care | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP and CLUES: both confirmed unreachable/non-functional today. CLUES clinic-registry search not executable for 'Trust Dental Care'; RNP dentist-registry search not executable for Dr. Denisse, Dr. Alejandra, Dr. Josie. Dr. Cirenia Aparicio Miranda already carries a self-reported license (33592067) on file from the clinic's own site — not re-queried since the sole dentist-scope registry (RNP) is confirmed unreachable and could not cross-check it either way. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-25 | Advanced Smiles Dentistry | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.9 (757 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates; sedation research found IV sedation is explicitly conscious (patient stays awake) per clinic's own page. |
| 2026-08-25 | Advanced Smiles Dentistry | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. IV/oral conscious sedation only; site says patient stays awake, can follow instructions |
| 2026-08-25 | Bio Implant Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.1 (64 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research: clinic's own pre-op page distinguishes IV sedation ('not unconscious') from a separate general-anesthesia option ('procedure with IV sedation or with general anesthesia'), so general anesthesia is offered (true). |
| 2026-08-25 | Bio Implant Center | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Offers general anesthesia as an option distinct from its conscious IV sedation |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental H&C Tijuana | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.5 (57 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research found no public information on anaesthesia depth for this clinic, left as null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental Solutions Tijuana | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live; address confirmed via Maps (Calle 11 8691-A), phone confirmed via a Yelp listing matching the stored number exactly (site itself is JS-rendered and didn't expose contact text to the fetcher); captured Google rating 4.9 (103 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research: site's FAQ lists 'Sedation Dentistry' among services without specifying depth, left as null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentiland | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged; captured Google rating 4.9 (235 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Note: Google Maps displays the clinic's phone as +52 664 980 0129, differing from the stored/site-confirmed +52 664 684 7285; kept stored number since the clinic's own site confirms it. Sedation research: clinic's own page states children needing sedation are admitted to hospital for treatment 'under complete sedation' with the child 'completely asleep' (true). |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentiland | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. For kids needing sedation, clinic arranges hospital admission for general anesthesia; child is fully asleep |
| 2026-08-25 | I Love My Dentist | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.5 (181 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research found no clear clinic statement on anaesthesia depth (a partner clinic's post mentioned IV sedation but not consciousness level), left as null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Methodology v1.3.0 | Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed. |
| 2026-08-25 | My Baja Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.8 (41 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research found an anesthesiologist/sedation specialist listed on staff, but no page states whether the depth reaches general anesthesia or stays conscious, left as null. |
| 2026-08-25 | New Age Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged (phone shown on site as +1 619-815-7846/4594, consistent with stored number); captured Google rating 5.0 (1296 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research: clinic's own oral-surgery page states wisdom-tooth removal 'is done under local anesthesia or general anesthesia' (true). |
| 2026-08-25 | New Age Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Clinic's oral surgery page offers general anesthesia for wisdom-tooth removal (alongside local) |
| 2026-08-25 | Pacific Implant Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website (pacificimplantcenters.com) live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.7 (91 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Correction noted: the Google Business Profile for this address/phone/website now displays under the name 'Pacific Dental Tijuana' rather than 'Pacific Implant Center'. Sedation research: clinic's own site states implant placement is 'performed under general anesthesia' (true). |
| 2026-08-25 | Pacific Implant Center | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Clinic states implant placement is done under general anesthesia |
| 2026-08-25 | Ramos Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live, phone unchanged; address was previously unset and is now recorded from the clinic's Google Maps profile ('Dental Ramos Clínica'), which lists the exact same phone number as the site; captured Google rating 5.0 (32 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research found no clinic-specific statement on anaesthesia depth, left as null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Tijuana Dental Studio | Re-verification 2026-08-25: tijuanadentalstudio.com is still live with the same phone number and same named dentists (Dr. Mario Lamas, Dr. Javier Sandoval, Dr. Elizabeth Murrieta). Correction: the Google Business Profile at this exact phone number and suite (7974-3) is now listed as 'Unison Dental Centro' (site unisondental.com, same doctor team, street recorded as Calle Emiliano Zapata rather than Calle Quinta) with rating 4.9 and 260 reviews (was unset) - recorded as a probable rebrand; address and place URL/coordinates updated to the Maps-confirmed listing. Sedation research: both sites mention only generic 'sedation options' alongside local anesthesia, with no statement of depth, left as null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Trust Dental Care | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; Google review count grew from 303 to 466 (rating steady at 4.7); recorded place URL/coordinates. Sedation research: clinic's own sedation-dentistry page describes IV sedation as keeping patients 'relaxed and comfortable' without stating asleep vs. conscious, so left unrated (null). |
| 2026-08-23 | Methodology v1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
