How a guide is built

  1. A real patient question

    Every guide starts from a question people actually ask in the chair, not from a keyword.

  2. Clinical evidence

    Consequential claims are mapped to sources from a fixed allowlist of major health authorities. Citations are never invented.

  3. Dr. Chung's clinical perspective

    Where the literature alone doesn't settle a decision, clinical judgement is added and labelled as perspective rather than citation.

  4. A plain-English decision guide

    Written for the person reading it at 11pm and worried, not for a search engine.

What the labels mean

  • Backed by cited sources — the guide cites sources for its consequential claims.
  • Partly backed by cited sources — some claims are cited; others rest on clinical judgement.
  • Dr. Chung's clinical perspective — reflects Dr. Chung's clinical experience rather than a citation.
  • General education only — general education only.

What we do not claim

These guides are general dental education. They are not a diagnosis, they are not a treatment plan for you specifically, and they do not replace an in-person examination.

We do not claim that individual articles receive separate human medical review before publication. Where a guide reflects clinical judgement rather than a citation, it is labelled as perspective.
