| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| 2026-10-01 | Centre Dentaire Salim | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on DabaDoc, Go Africa Online, WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clinique Dentaire Targa | Other platforms set to yes: DabaDoc has a bookable profile of Dr Nezha Jaafari at the clinic's address (114 Jawhara 2), describing Clinique Dentaire Targa (checked 2026-10-01). |
| 2026-10-01 | Marrakech Dental Clinic | Reviews re-read on the Google listing: the earlier "overcharging complaints" came from a page about a different clinic with a similar name, so the recurring-complaints mark and the upselling red flag were removed; the five lowest-rated reviews raise unrelated issues. |
| 2026-10-01 | Marrakech Smile | Other platforms set to yes: DabaDoc lists two dentists, Dr. Hamid Benkacem and Dr. Ahlam Bouzoubaa, at Marrakech Smile's address and number (checked 2026-10-01). |
| 2026-09-30 | Marrakech Smile | The site's "follow us on Facebook" link leads nowhere on all 39 pages. A direct Facebook search found the page of Dr. Ahlam Bouzoubaa, one of the clinic's dentists (reviews on the clinic's Google listing name her), named after the clinic and checking in at it. Recorded presence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Marrakech Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-18); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-22). |
| 2026-09-29 | Marrakech Senior Dentist (Dr Rachid Ait Addi) | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 123 (was 116) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-21); red flag "No verifiable address" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that a street address and map are published. |
| 2026-09-29 | Montblanc Dental Center | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-08). |
| 2026-09-29 | Moqadem Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-24). |

| 2026-09-25 | Ocre Dental Center | Aligned with the clinic's entry on moroccodentalrating.com: recorded General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) (no) from sources read on 2026-08-25. |
| 2026-09-24 | Basma Clinique Dentaire | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (all pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine photo of the treatment area; the site is French-only with no structured business data and only a generic contact form; implants and, per the Google listing's own categories, pediatric and emergency dentistry. Google 4.9 from 491 reviews, newest 2026-09-18, owner replying promptly; recurring complaints about crown/filling work quality; not listed on WhatClinic or TripAdvisor. Still unverified: Facebook presence, English support, and whether the clinic treats foreign patients. |

Still unverified: whether the clinic treats foreign patients. |
| 2026-09-24 | Centre Dentaire El Wassy | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (sitemap, home, orthodontics and radiology pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: children's orthodontic treatment documented on the site and on the Google listing's own categories; implants; a dedicated panoramic X-ray page that does not mention cone-beam imaging; a business entity in the site's structured data; an English version of the site at /en/. Google 4.4 from 34 reviews, newest 2026-08-22; recurring complaints about incomplete or mishandled treatment; not listed on WhatClinic or TripAdvisor.

Recorded: a dedicated dental-tourism page describing reduced rates and a treatment plan adapted to a visitor's stay; a first-person pediatric dentistry page; a dedicated radiology service page; a business entity in the site's structured data; the site has no English version. Google 5.0 from 63 reviews, newest 2026-09-17, no recurring complaints; not listed on TripAdvisor.

| 2026-09-24 | Clinique Dentaire Targa | Re-read on 2026-09-24/25: the clinic's website (page sitemap, clinic, 3D imaging, emergency and consultation pages in English and French) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine photo of a treatment room; 3D X-ray imaging of the jaws; the clinic's statement that it receives international patients; WhatsApp contact links; no structured business data; not listed on WhatClinic or TripAdvisor.

| 2026-09-24 | Marrakech Smile | Re-read on 2026-09-24/25: the clinic's website (the home page shows a renovation notice, but the service, clinic, testimonial and advice pages listed in its site map are still online) and its Google listing. Recorded: the clinic page names Dr Hamid Benkacem with his specialisation; service pages explain implantology, oral surgery, orthodontics (Invisalign), endodontics and other treatments; the clinic's reply to a review confirms X-rays are taken on site; Saturday hours on the Google profile; no English version, WhatsApp contact or structured data; not listed on WhatClinic or TripAdvisor. Corrected: dentists, specialisations, a service list and dedicated service pages are published; the site's 'Follow us on Facebook' link has no target, so the earlier Facebook finding is withdrawn. Google 4.6 from 225 reviews, newest 2026-09-23, owner replying with clinical detail. Still unverified: Facebook presence and whether the clinic works with foreign patients. |

Google 5.0 from 162 reviews, owner replying promptly; no recurring complaints. Still unverified: emergency care (documented only by one patient review) and whether the near-uniform five-star pattern is organic. |
| 2026-09-10 | Ocre Dental Center | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 'Dr Fahd Idriss Aatouf' confirmed via own-site homepage, independent of previously-cited aggregator source (ocredentalcenter.com). |
| 2026-09-07 | Centre Dentaire El Wassy | opaque_prices flag reviewed under methodology v1.4.0 and kept: the note hints at opacity but cites nothing verifiable, so it is annotated for re-verification at the next check. |
| 2026-09-07 | Centre Dentaire El Wassy | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no citable evidence found on re-verification: dentisteamarrakech.com, fetched 2026-09-07, advertises 'Bon Prix' in its title and 'prix très avantageux' / 'au meilleur prix' in body copy but carries no figures and no price page. Unsubstantiated price puffery over unpublished prices is not documented bait). |
| 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. |
| 2026-09-07 | Montblanc Dental Center | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 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 | Centre Dentaire El Wassy | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. 'Sedative dentistry' article: local anaesthesia, nitrous oxide, anti-anxiety meds or oral sedation; patient stays conscious, not fully asleep. |
| 2026-08-25 | Centre Dentaire Salim | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged. Captured Google rating 5.0 and 61 reviews (previously unset); note the Maps listing itself does not display a phone number (site's number confirmed independently). |
| 2026-08-25 | Clinique Dentaire Targa | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged. Captured Google rating 4.4 and 145 reviews (previously unset). Own site also confirms general-anaesthesia dental care (recorded separately in sedation research). |
| 2026-08-25 | Clinique Dentaire Targa | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Dedicated page: dental care under general anaesthesia in hospital operating room with anaesthesiologist present. |
| 2026-08-25 | Marrakech Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged. Google rating jumped from 2.3 to 4.7 and review count rose from 47 to 122; recorded Google Maps place URL and coordinates (new fields). |
| 2026-08-25 | Marrakech Senior Dentist (Dr Rachid Ait Addi) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and phone unchanged; Google Maps profile (listed as "Cabinet Dentaire Ait Addi Rachid") gives a fuller street address than the generic stored "Massira, Marrakech", recorded as a correction. Captured Google rating 4.9 and 116 reviews (previously unset). |
| 2026-08-25 | Marrakech Smile | Re-verification 2026-08-25: Google Maps now shows this listing as "Temporarily closed" (not permanently closed) — recorded as an operating-status change. Website (marrakechsmile.com, redirecting to its own index.php) is still live but displays a "site under renovation" banner; address and phone unchanged. Captured Google rating 4.6 and 216 reviews (previously unset). |
| 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 | Montblanc Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged. Google rating updated from 5 to 4.9 and review count rose from 90 to 192; recorded place URL, coordinates, and review recency. |

Note: the Google Maps profile (listed under the owner-doctor's name, Moqadem Hafça) also links two other clinic domains (mondentiste.ma, esthetiquedentairemarrakech.com) alongside the stored moqademdentalclinic.com; stored site confirmed live and correct so not recorded as a website change. |
| 2026-08-25 | Moqadem Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Conscious sedation only, offered for anxious patients; patient stays awake/relaxed. |
| 2026-08-25 | Ocre Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website moved — stored ocredentalcenter.com now 301-redirects to https://dentalmarrakech.com/, confirmed live with matching address, phone, and clinic name. Address and phone unchanged. Captured Google rating 5.0 and 160 reviews (previously unset). |
| 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. |
