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) — Not verified No sedation/anesthesia specifics; only generic 'painless' claim.

| 2026-09-30 | The clinic's site carries no Facebook link (the social icons inside testimonial images are not links). A direct Facebook search by the clinic's name found its own page with a matching street address, distinct from two unrelated practices of the same name. Recorded presence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five pending Los Algodones queries: present for "best dentist Los Algodones"; not present for "English speaking dentist Los Algodones", "dental implants Los Algodones", "emergency dentist Los Algodones", "Los Algodones dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's price list, services overview, homepage, contact and FAQ pages (40 pages read), and its Google listing (all four review sorts). Recorded: cleaning, consultation and X-ray prices published; 3D imaging technology documented; no pediatric or emergency service category; no WhatsApp/LINE link; owner replies to reviews; a recurring theme of crown and root-canal complications in the lowest-rated reviews; no sign of review manipulation; no TripAdvisor presence. Google rating and review count refreshed to 4.9 from 1027 reviews. Still unverified: Facebook presence (no link found on the site). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed dentaldelrioalgodones.com live, address/phone unchanged, listing open on Google Maps. Rating steady at 4.9; review count rose from 713 to 989. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 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; CLUES master workbook download timed out, no online search form exists). CLUES clinic-registry search not executable (workbook download timed out); RNP dentist-registry search not executable for 2 named doctor(s) (SEP cédula lookup unreachable). No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
