| 2026-09-03 | Metodologi 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 | Anna Dental Clinic (Georgetown) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: stored website annadentalclinic.com.my is dead (DNS fails); clinic moved to https://annadentalclinics.com/ (confirmed live), recorded as correction. Maps phone +60 19-542 2414 differs from stored +60 4-609 4177, recorded as correction. Address unchanged. Google rating 4.9 (down from stored 5), review count up from 60 to 139, geo coordinates, and Maps place URL recorded. |
| 2026-08-25 | Anna Dental Clinic (Georgetown) | License verification 2026-08-25 against MDC registry: address confirmed as an actively registered dental premise (KLINIK PERGIGIAN ANNA, year 2026) with 2 MDC-licensed dentists on file (unit number 163-D-A vs site's stored 163-D-10 -- same plaza); no separate clinic license number exists in this registry so clinicLicense left null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Chin Lim Dental (Krystal Point) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged (Maps lists the profile as 'Klinik Pergigian Chin Dental Clinic Bayan Lepas' / 'Chin Dental Surgery' rather than 'Chin Lim Dental'); recorded Google rating 4.9, review count up from - to 1,132, geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |
| 2026-08-25 | Chin Lim Dental (Krystal Point) | License verification 2026-08-25 against MDC registry: found and matched both named doctors -- Dr. Chin Hoi Cheng (3713, principal registration at this exact premise, year 2026) and Dr. Elben Lim Jo Han (3324, secondary/OTHERS registration here, principal registration at his own separate E.L. Lim clinic in Bayan Lepas, year 2026). Premise confirmed as an active registered dental clinic; MDC has no separate clinic license number so clinicLicense left null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Eversmile Dental Penang | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed no website and address unchanged; recorded phone +60 11-1122 8859 (was unlisted), Google rating 4.8 (matches stored), review count up from 69 to 102, geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |
| 2026-08-25 | Eversmile Dental Penang | License verification 2026-08-25 against MDC registry: address confirmed as an actively registered dental premise (KLINIK PERGIGIAN EVERSMILE, year 2026) with 2 MDC-licensed dentists on file; no separate clinic license number exists in this registry so clinicLicense left null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Family Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live; recorded address (previously unset; note: clinic site text shows postcode 11200 vs Maps' 10470 for the same Prima Tanjung Business Centre unit) and phone +60 10-886 0830 (differs from stored +60 4-899 0013), Google rating 4.9 (224 reviews, first captured), geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |
| 2026-08-25 | Family Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against MDC registry: address confirmed as an actively registered dental premise (KLINIK PERGIGIAN FAMILY DENTAL, year 2026) with 4 MDC-licensed dentists on file; no separate clinic license number exists in this registry so clinicLicense left null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Joy Dental Clinic (Pulau Tikus) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and address unchanged (Maps omits the 33-B unit number but matches street/postcode); recorded phone +60 12-775 8150 (was unlisted; clinic site separately lists +6012-729 8150), Google rating 5.0, review count up from 75 to 185, geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |
| 2026-08-25 | Joy Dental Clinic (Pulau Tikus) | License verification 2026-08-25 against MDC registry: no premise found registered simply as 'Joy Dental' at this Pulau Tikus address; however the named on-site dentist (Dr. Gillian / Gillian Tham Wei Yi, 14907) is registered to this exact address under an MDC record flagged as an outdated business name ('Eng Dental Surgery', lapsed-address notice) with an otherwise-current 2026 registration year. Given the ambiguity, clinicLicense left null rather than false; clinic's own website also publishes no license number. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Dentabay Georgetown | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and address unchanged; recorded phone +60 18-900 1233 (was unlisted), Google rating 5.0 (up from stored 4.9), review count up from 73 to 520, geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |

| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian VN Smile (Butterworth) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed address and phone unchanged; Maps lists a website domain vnsmile.com.my but it does not resolve (dead), so website remains unset. Recorded Google rating 4.9 (down from stored 5), review count up from 164 to 220, geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian VN Smile (Butterworth) | License verification 2026-08-25 against MDC registry: address confirmed as an actively registered dental premise (KLINIK PERGIGIAN VN SMILE, year 2026) with 5 MDC-licensed dentists on file; no separate clinic license number exists in this registry so clinicLicense left null. |
| 2026-08-25 | L Dental Clinic (Air Itam) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed no website, address and phone unchanged; recorded Google rating 4.9, review count up from 236 to 364, geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |
| 2026-08-25 | L Dental Clinic (Air Itam) | License verification 2026-08-25 against MDC registry: address confirmed as an actively registered dental premise (KLINIK PERGIGIAN L, year 2026) with 1 MDC-licensed dentist on file; no separate clinic license number exists in this registry so clinicLicense left null. |

| 2026-08-25 | Metodologi 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 | Penang Dental Surgery | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; recorded Google rating 4.6 (225 reviews, first captured), geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |

| 2026-08-25 | SmileBay Dental Surgery (Bay Avenue, Bayan Lepas) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Uses local anaesthesia; site/third-party mention conscious IV sedation for anxious patients only, not GA/asleep sedation. |

| 2026-08-25 | SmileBay Dental Surgery (Island Plaza) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live; the mall is now branded 'Island 88' (was 'Island Plaza') so address updated, and Maps phone differs from stored (+60 17-437 0321 vs stored +60 4-890 0600 - clinic's own site lists a separate +60 12-624 5688 hotline); recorded Google rating 4.9 (238 reviews, first captured), geo coordinates, and Maps place URL. |

| 2026-08-23 | Metodologi 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.
