How a guide is built
- 01
A real patient question
Every guide starts from a question people actually ask in the chair, not from a keyword.
- 02
Clinical evidence
Consequential claims are mapped to sources from a fixed allowlist of major health authorities. Citations are never invented.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
