Documented review only
A clinician is named as a reviewer only after they have signed off the exact published page. Otherwise, the page shows its source context without implying clinical review.
How Ivy Dental sources, updates, and governs patient-facing information.
Content governance
How Ivy Dental manages patient information
Ivy Dental content is written for patients making real decisions. The goal is plain language, clear limits, and clinically restrained advice.
Content standard
Useful before persuasive
We do not treat clinical pages as sales pages. Each page should help you understand symptoms, suitability, risks, cost factors, and next steps.
Source hierarchy
We prefer Australian regulatory sources, public-health sources, professional dental resources, peer-reviewed evidence, manufacturer documentation, and Ivy protocols where relevant.
Responsible clinical wording
Clinical claims are kept within Ahpra and Dental Board advertising guidance. We do not use promises, superiority claims, quoted patient feedback, or wording that could create unrealistic expectations.
Pricing governance
Pricing is indicative unless a fixed-fee service is explicitly confirmed. Quotes can vary after clinical assessment.
Update cadence
Pages are updated when their underlying clinical, operational, pricing, or policy information changes. An update date is not presented as a clinical review date.
Corrections
If a patient, clinician, or team member identifies an error, the page is reviewed and corrected where needed.
