Editorial Policy

iDental News publishes news articles and editorial features about dental practices and businesses serving dentistry. Skip Droud works for iDental News and is the named author of its news articles.

Factual source information

Business and practice information supplied to the newsroom is treated as factual source material. Clients updating their public practice information confirm that it is factual. Editorial checks compare the drafted story with that supplied information and check originality.

News and practice features

A news feature may explain an existing service, professional focus or approach. A confirmed announcement may describe a new development. The wording must distinguish standing information from an event or change.

Quotations, dates, credentials, awards, statistics and outcomes are included only when the corresponding details have been supplied. The writing process must not invent comments, personal visits, professional credentials or results.

Authorship and publisher relationship

Each article displays its author and publication date. iDental News is the publisher, and some news features form part of marketing services for the featured business. A news feature does not create an independent award, ranking or verification claim.

Corrections

Readers and featured businesses may request a correction. Send the article URL, the statement in question and the correct information with its source. General dental information is not personal medical advice.
