Changelog

Every data update, correction, and methodology change is logged here and in each clinic's own change history. The rating updates whenever the underlying public data changes.

Date	Subject	Change
2026-10-16	Dr. Ebrahim Dental Clinic	Dentist names reassessed on 2026-10-16 under the clarified rule (methodology 1.4.2): a name counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register. The clinic names its dentists by first name only, so dentist names no longer count.
2026-10-16	Methodology v1.4.2	Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes.
2026-10-14	Dr. Senait Dental Clinic	Responds to reviews: no → yes. The Google reading of 2026-10-05 shows owner replies on 4 of the 10 reviews read, the latest dated 2026-08-16.
2026-10-07	Methodology v1.4.1	Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes.

2026-09-24	Africa Speciality Dental	Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google Business Profile, which still carries no advertised website. Recorded: no English website version, no structured data and no dedicated service pages, all because the clinic has no website. Rating and review count unchanged. Still unverified: Facebook presence, other review platforms, and the clinic's services and equipment.

2026-09-24	Giomar Specialty Dental Clinic	Re-read on 2026-09-24: the full site, including two pages (a doctors page and a blog page) not read at the last pass, and the Google Business Profile. Dentist names remain unconfirmed: the doctors page repeats the same two names as the about page, each with a broken profile link, consistent with unedited template content rather than real staff. The treatments named in the site's machine-readable markup are not counted as the clinic's documented services. Still unverified: the clinic's actual services, X-ray or CBCT equipment, pediatric care, and whether the clinic serves international patients.

A Facebook page in the clinic's name is returned in the top ten for all five - "best dentist Bahir Dar", "English speaking dentist Bahir Dar", "dental implants Bahir Dar", "emergency dentist Bahir Dar" and "Bahir Dar dental clinic for expats" - while the clinic's own website appears for none of them.

Recorded: no TripAdvisor presence; no price is published for cleaning, fillings, crowns, implants, consultations or X-rays on either channel; contact is by phone or Facebook Messenger, not WhatsApp or LINE. Still unverified: on-site equipment, service explanations and English-language communication, none of which the clinic publishes anywhere else.
2026-09-17	Hawassa Specialty Dental Clinic	Corrected the card's own description: it still said the clinic's Facebook page had not been read, while the evidence on the card records that page read in full on 11 September 2026, with no dentist, no service list and no prices on it.

2026-09-11	Africa Speciality Dental	Reputation pass: the entire two-review base, the star histogram and the empty photo and hours sections read from the live place record. respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints, reviewRecency and realClinicPhotos settled.
2026-09-11	Africa Speciality Dental	Editorial review of the sourcing: the website criterion no longer cites a search query as evidence and rests on the clinic's own Google listing, which carries no website field.
2026-09-11	Dalian Speciality Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: star histogram 1/0/1/2/72, five dated review records and a wholly clinic-uploaded photo strip read from the live place record. respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints, reviewRecency and realClinicPhotos all settled.
2026-09-11	Dr Kendy Endris Dental Specialty Clinic No 1 (ዶ/ር ክንድየ እንድሪስ የጥርስ ክሊኒክ ቁ1)	Reputation pass: the absence of any rating confirmed by six further reads of the place record; realClinicPhotos set to false after the listing's only three photographs turned out to be of a neighbouring pharmacy; convenientHours set from the clinic's own Google Business Profile.
2026-09-11	Dr Kendy Endris Dental Specialty Clinic No 1 (ዶ/ር ክንድየ እንድሪስ የጥርስ ክሊኒክ ቁ1)	Editorial review of the sourcing: the website criterion no longer cites a search query as evidence and rests on the clinic's own Google listing, which carries no website field.
2026-09-11	Dr. Beimnet Dental Clinic (ዶ/ር በእምነት የጥርስ ህክምና)	Reputation pass: every image on the clinic site examined. realClinicPhotos set to false - the site carries only theme stock artwork and no photograph of the premises or the team. The "Doctor be imnat" candidate was opened in a live browser and re-checked: it publishes no telephone number, website, hours or photographs and remains unadopted.
2026-09-11	Dr. Ebrahim Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: star histogram 0/0/1/0/28, the review records with their owner replies and the listing photo strip read live. convenientHours corrected from false to true - the website publishes only theme boilerplate, but the clinic's own Google Business Profile publishes Monday to Sunday 08:00-20:00, and hours published in a clinic's own profile count as published.
2026-09-11	Dr. Ebrahim Dental Clinic	Editorial review of the contact record: the clinic's website and its Facebook page were compared on 2026-09-11. The card keeps the telephone number and e-mail address its website and Google listing agree on, and now records the second telephone line and second e-mail address that appear only in the Facebook bio.
2026-09-11	Dr. Emebet Special Higher Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: star histogram 57/10/17/44/288 and five dated review records read from the live place record; realClinicPhotos settled; convenientHours set from the clinic's own Google Business Profile under the methodology's rule that hours published in a clinic's own profile are published hours.
2026-09-11	Dr. Emebet Special Higher Dental Clinic	Editorial review of the review record, on two independent readings of the place record on 2026-09-11. The clinic is now recorded as not answering critical reviews: the only reply among the five reviews shown is to a five-star review of 2021, answered a year later, while all three one-star reviews are unanswered. An earlier note said a one-star review about an incomplete root canal had drawn a reply in the same month; no such reply is present, and that statement is withdrawn. The dates of two of the three one-star reviews are corrected to the exact dates their records carry.
2026-09-11	Dr. Meseret Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: the one-review base with its exact date, the star histogram, four clinic-uploaded surgery photographs and the Google Business Profile hours read live. Five criteria settled, including convenientHours, which the website does not publish but the clinic's own profile does.
2026-09-11	Dr. Senait Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: review count reconciled to 447, the figure the listing's own star histogram sums to; respondsToReviews and realClinicPhotos settled; convenientHours set from the clinic's own Google Business Profile, which publishes hours its website does not. The Facebook page linked from the clinic's website was found to be unavailable; the live page was located by search and recorded instead, and addressAndMap settled on the street address it publishes.
2026-09-11	Fana Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: the entire two-review base with exact dates, the star histogram and the empty photo section read from the live place record. respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and realClinicPhotos settled.
2026-09-11	Fana Dental Clinic	Editorial review: the opening-hours criterion, previously left blank, now records that the clinic publishes no hours on any channel, checked against the live place record on 2026-09-11. The website criterion no longer cites a search query as evidence.
2026-09-11	Fasika Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: the absence of rating, reviews, hours and photographs on the Google listing confirmed by five further reads of the place record; realClinicPhotos recorded as not published rather than unverified.
2026-09-11	Fasika Dental Clinic	Editorial review: the opening-hours criterion, previously left blank, now records that the clinic publishes no hours on any channel, checked against the live place record on 2026-09-11. The website criterion no longer cites a search query as evidence.
2026-09-11	Giomar Specialty Dental Clinic	Added to the Ethiopia Dental Transparency & Trust Index. The clinic was carded after it was confirmed on three independent channels: a row in the Ministry of Health Master Facility Registry extract, its own website read in full, and its own Google place record, whose telephone number matches the site and whose coordinates agree with the register to about 12 m. The clinic is the fifth Bahir Dar card and the only one in the city that publishes a website.
2026-09-11	Hawassa Specialty Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: the entire two-review base, the star histogram, four clinic-uploaded reception photographs and the Google Business Profile hours read live. Five criteria settled on the card that carried the most unknowns in the country; its Facebook and TikTok channels remain unread. Its Facebook page was then read in full - the last unread channel on this card - settling dentistNamesListed, specializationsListed, serviceListPublished and pricesPublished as published-nothing rather than unverified.
2026-09-11	Hawassa Specialty Dental Clinic	Editorial review of the sourcing: the website criterion no longer cites a search query as evidence and rests on the clinic's own Google listing and its Facebook page.
2026-09-11	Hundaol Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: the entire five-review base, the star histogram, the four listing photographs and the Google Business Profile hours read live. Five criteria settled; a note on the overlap between the photo uploader and one reviewer recorded against suspiciousReviewPatterns without asserting it.
2026-09-11	Hundaol Dental Clinic	Editorial review of the review record. The whole five-review base, its star histogram, the reviewers' account histories and the upload dates of the listing's four photographs were re-read on 2026-09-11, and the review history is now recorded as showing signs of manipulation, at low severity because the base is five reviews. An earlier note on this card said the account that posted "Visit us" had also uploaded the photographs; the listing publishes no attribution for photographs, so that link is withdrawn. The website criterion no longer cites a search query as evidence.
2026-09-11	Keti Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: the entire one-review base, the star histogram, the single listing photograph and the Google Business Profile hours read live. Four reputation and transparency criteria settled on a card that previously published nothing readable beyond a map pin.
2026-09-11	Nebel Speciality Dental Clinic - Hawassa	Reputation pass: the site gallery read image by image. realClinicPhotos set to true on a photograph of the clinic's own team under its own interior signage; the placeholder "Mr.x" doctor image and the placeholder telephone numbers remain recorded as they were. A fourth search for a Google place, this one run directly on the map in a live browser, again returned no Nebel listing.
2026-09-11	NovoCare Dental and Orthodontic Clinic	Reputation pass: the whole reputation block was re-derived from the live place record - star histogram 3/0/1/6/192, five dated review records, each with an owner reply, and the listing photo strip. respondsToReviews, reviewRecency and realClinicPhotos settled.
2026-09-11	NovoCare Dental and Orthodontic Clinic	Editorial review of the contact record: both telephone numbers the clinic publishes in its own site footer are now named, and the card records that its Facebook bio publishes the same pair plus an Instagram handle.
2026-09-11	Smile Specialty Dental Center	Reputation pass: star histogram, five review records and the listing photo strip read from the live place record. respondsToReviews true on a reply to a critical review; reviewRecency and realClinicPhotos settled.
2026-09-11	Smile Specialty Dental Center	Editorial review of the contact record: the card records the second telephone line the clinic publishes only on its Facebook page, and two pieces of unedited theme residue served on its own site - a foreign support e-mail address and a United States telephone link - which are not the clinic's contacts.
2026-09-11	Tana Dental Specialty Clinic	Reputation pass: the one-review base with its exact date, the star histogram and the empty photo section read from the live place record.
2026-09-11	Tana Dental Specialty Clinic	Editorial review: the opening-hours criterion, previously left blank, now records that the clinic publishes no hours on any channel, checked against the live place record on 2026-09-11. The website criterion no longer cites a search query as evidence.
2026-09-11	Wisdom Speciality Dental Clinic	Reputation pass: Google place record re-read for the star histogram, review records and listing photographs. respondsToReviews and realClinicPhotos settled; recurringComplaints left unverified with the histogram arithmetic recorded.
2026-09-11	Wisdom Speciality Dental Clinic	Editorial review of the contact record: both telephone numbers the clinic publishes on its own Contact page are now named, and the card records that its Facebook service poster presents the same pair as WhatsApp lines.
2026-09-11	Yanet Specialty Dental Clinic (ያኔት ስፔሻሊቲ ዴንታል ክሊኒክ)	Reputation pass: star histogram 5/3/1/2/46, five dated review records and the listing photo strip read live. respondsToReviews and realClinicPhotos settled; convenientHours set from the clinic's own Google Business Profile, correcting a note that said no hours were published anywhere.

2026-09-07	Methodology v1.4.0	Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list.
2026-09-03	Methodology v1.3.1	Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries.
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.
2026-08-23	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.
2026-07-08	Methodology v1.1.0	Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section.
2026-07-03	Methodology v1.0.0	Initial public methodology.
