The rules we follow
- Show where a price came from and when we saw it
- Keep public prices separate from private practice prices
- Use Canadian sources and explain when rules change by province
- Show a person’s name only when that person did the work
- Explain how we calculate prices
- Fix important errors clearly
What each label means
| Page | What it uses | What you should know |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier product | A supplier listing and public price | Created from data; not a clinical review |
| Automatic comparison | Product codes, packages, and matching rules | Matched by the system when the data is strong |
| Curated comparison | A group built or checked by a named person | A human organized it; this is not clinical approval |
| Practice guide | Canadian sources and DSP’s methods | Written advice with sources and clear limits |
Where our facts come from
For laws, privacy, public health, statistics, and professional rules, we use the government, regulator, or original organization when possible. Product facts should come from the supplier or manufacturer.
We do not make up numbers, savings claims, credentials, quotes, or clinical advice. If we cannot support a fact, we should change it or remove it.
When we show a contributor’s name
A contributor can make a profile public with a display name. A photo, title, credentials, biography, workplace, areas of knowledge, and links are optional. We do not guess or invent missing details.
We show a person’s name on a comparison only when that person created, organized, or truly reviewed it. Product pages made from supplier data do not claim that a dentist reviewed them.
How we may use AI
AI may help us plan, edit, shorten, or find questions that need research. AI is not a source. A person must still check facts against the real source or product data.
- No made-up sources
- No copied writing passed off as our own
- No invented expert quotes or credentials
- No AI-made clinical advice
- Human review before we publish an important guide
Suppliers cannot buy a better position
Paying for DSP, offering a startup deal, or working with DSP does not help a supplier pass our public catalogue rules. Paid messages must look like paid messages. We do not rank a supplier higher simply because we have a business relationship.
How to ask for a correction
Email support@dentalsupplyprices.com. Include the page link, what you think is wrong, and a reliable source. We may remove a page from Google while we check a product, package, price, or contributor issue.
When an important visible fact changes, we update the page date. Small spelling or design changes usually do not change that date.
