General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ? General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — Not verified The practice's previous site describes painless treatment using "laser dentistry and sedation options" without saying whether the patient is asleep, which is exactly the distinction this field turns on. Left unset for the manual browser check rather than read either way. [s2]

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
18 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Read on 2026-09-10: a current site with about, doctors, gallery, blog and contact sections and real body content; the practice also keeps its previous site live at old.pulpdentalhospital.com, which carries the longer team list. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The current site names Dr. Anupam Podder, Dr. Md. Nazmus Shadat and Dr. Israt Jannat; the practice's own previous site names thirteen dentists including those three. [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed Neither the current nor the previous site publishes a degree, postgraduate qualification or stated field for any of the named dentists — only their names. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The listing's photographs were downloaded at full size and looked at on 2026-09-11. They show these premises: the illuminated shopfront, "PULP DENTAL HOSPITAL" in red with "OPEN 24/7" beside it, over three lit window panels advertising implants, hygiene and orthodontics; the building itself with the same sign and its Bengali name board; a treatment room with the chair, monitor, washbasin and instrument tray; and a clinician at the consulting desk. Genuine premises, not stock imagery. [gm2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes its treatment range with a description each — lingual braces, Invisalign, ceramic and metal braces, retainers, space maintainers, oral surgery and dental implants. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details A telephone number matching the Google listing, a clinic e-mail address and the Sonadanga address are published on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site is published in English throughout. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The clinic publishes its Sonadanga address — "Al Faruk more, Sonadanga, near the 3rd residential gate, Khulna" — which agrees with the street line in the national register and with the Google listing's coordinates. The Panthapath, Dhaka address that also appears on the site is explained on the site itself: it stands in the footer under the heading "Dhaka Branch", so the practice has a second address rather than an unexplained one. Re-read on 2026-09-10. [s1] [dghs1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No price list or ranges anywhere on either of the clinic's own sites. [s1] [s2] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed No cleaning or scaling price is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed No filling price is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed Crowns and bridges on implants are described with no price. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed Implants are a published service with no price. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No consultation fee is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No imaging price is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
13 / 20
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Read from the live Google Maps place record on 2026-09-10 (automated tile read, hl=en), confirmed by a second read the same day with the register's own street line in the query. [gm1] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-25; previously 35 [pulp-dental-hospital-khulna-gbp-2026-09-25] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-14 (listing read 2026-09-25). [pulp-dental-hospital-khulna-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews The Google listing is unclaimed (it carries a "Claim this business" prompt), so no owner can reply to reviews; none of the 5 reviews read has a reply. [pulp-dental-hospital-khulna-r6rep] [gm2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Of 37 Google reviews, 3 are one- or two-star (8.1 %); the lowest-rated read (2024-2026) raise different matters (one rating praises the dentist and one gives no detail), so no complaint recurs (read 2026-10-02). [pulp-dental-hospital-khulna-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Star histogram read on 2026-09-11: 1★=2, 2★=1, 3★=1, 4★=1, 5★=30 across 35 reviews, averaging 4.60. Every single bucket is populated, which on a base this small is a strong sign of an ordinary base. The five readable reviews spread over nine months, the texts are long and specific — one describes a dentist explaining why a filling was not needed, against another dentist's advice — and one ends with an explicit caveat that the recommendation may change once a crown is fitted. Bought reviews do not hedge. No burst and no repeated wording. [gm2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The practice keeps its own Facebook page, which its Google listing gives as its web address. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Pulp Dental Hospital Khulna" and "Pulp Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [pulp-dental-hospital-khulna-tripadvisor] [pulp-dental-hospital-khulna-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Healtha or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-01).

Medical Infrastructure
9 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ? | On-site X-ray Neither of the clinic's own sites names imaging equipment. Left unset rather than recorded as a denial — unusual for a practice presenting itself as a dental hospital, and worth a look in the manual browser check. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) No cone-beam CT or 3D imaging is claimed on either of the clinic's own sites. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dental implants are a published service with a description of the titanium post and the restoration on top. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Lingual braces, Invisalign, ceramic braces, metal braces and retainers each have their own published description — the widest orthodontic range of the Khulna cards. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Oral surgery — extractions, corrective jaw surgery and implant placement — is a published service line. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Space maintainers for children after early tooth loss are a published service, described as ensuring proper dental development. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The clinic publishes that its doctors are on call 24/7 with same-day appointments available, and its previous site advertises a 24/7 service. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients Nothing about international patients, insurance or language support is published. Left unset. | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
6.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available The site publishes a voice number, an e-mail address and an appointment request form; no WhatsApp or messenger link appears in its markup. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic's own site and treatment descriptions are published in English only. [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible An appointment request form is published on the clinic's own site, with same-day appointments advertised. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each orthodontic option and each surgical service is explained in plain English, including who each type of brace suits. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The clinic's round-the-clock claim holds on its own channels, and this is where it comes from. Both of its own websites state round-the-clock availability, and the illuminated shopfront photographed on the listing carries "OPEN 24/7" beside the name. The Google listing shows the same thing - open twenty-four hours on all seven days - but that listing is unclaimed, so what it shows is Google's record rather than something the practice published, and it is cited here as corroboration only. It is the only clinic of the twenty here open at any hour, which for a practice calling itself a dental hospital is the claim that matters most. [s1] [s2] [gm2] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
2.5 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Bangladesh", "English speaking dentist Bangladesh", "dental implants Bangladesh", "emergency dentist Bangladesh", "Bangladesh dental clinic for expats".
| ✗ | Mentioned for: best dentist Bangladesh The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-10 (web search); the clinic does not appear. [bsq1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Bangladesh The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear. [bsq2] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: dental implants Bangladesh The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear. [bsq3] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Bangladesh The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear, despite advertising round-the-clock availability. [bsq4] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: Bangladesh dental clinic for expats The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear. [bsq5] | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Structured data on website The current site emits schema.org JSON-LD with WebSite, WebPage and BreadcrumbList nodes; there is no Dentist, LocalBusiness or MedicalOrganization entity, so the markup describes the pages rather than the practice. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ◐ | Google indexing quality A name-and-city search on 2026-09-10 is led by the practice's Facebook pages and by third-party directories; the only result from the practice's own domains is its superseded site at old.pulpdentalhospital.com, at rank 5. Its current site does not rank for its own name. [giq1] | 1/2 |
| ✗ | Dedicated service pages The treatments are sections of the front page rather than individual service URLs. [s1] | 0/1.5 |

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: HSM64223 (DGHS Hospital Services Management register, facility category Clinic, Khulna district, Sonadanga upazila — as read on 2026-09-10) (The public register publishes no issue date, no expiry and no status column, so this proves current listing on the date read rather than a dated validity window.)

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (5 reviews read): recurring complaints no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Healtha or Trustpilot; the directory listing cited before is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 37 (was 35) from the Google listing on 2026-09-25; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-14). |
| 2026-09-11 | A re-read of the listing on 2026-09-11 showed it is unclaimed - it still carries Google's invitation to claim the business. Two rows were corrected to say so: the opening week is no longer described as the practice's own Business Profile, since an unclaimed listing is Google's record and not the clinic's publication, and the round-the-clock claim now rests on the clinic's two websites and its own shopfront sign with the listing as corroboration. The absence of replies to reviews is explained by the same fact. |
| 2026-09-11 | A phrase in the summary that referred to our own working batch rather than to this index was reworded. The statement itself is unchanged. |
| 2026-09-11 | Reputational check against the listing's own place record, which returned the star histogram, five reviews with exact dates, the published opening week and the listing's photographs. Review recency, owner replies, review patterns and the opening week were all settled for the first time. The clinic's round-the-clock claim was verified rather than taken on trust: its own Business Profile publishes "Open 24 hours" for every day of the week, and the shopfront photographed on the listing carries the same claim in neon. The photographs were downloaded and examined and show the shopfront, the building, a treatment room and the consulting desk. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification. The DGHS licence was kept and its presentation corrected: the value now opens with the bare registration code so a reader can check it against the register, and the narrative explaining how the clinic was identified in the register moved out of the published cell. The Panthapath, Dhaka address flagged in the first pass was explained by the site itself — it stands in the footer under the heading "Dhaka Branch", so the practice has a second address rather than an unexplained one. The notes recording the state of the register were taken out of the published doctors table, where they had made each licence cell read "not published" instead of "not verified" — a denial the data never made. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: the clinic's current and previous sites were read, the Google Maps place record was read directly twice, and the national DGHS register was read in full and matched to this practice on name, district, upazila and street, giving the only clinic licence found in this Bangladeshi set (HSM64223). The five canonical city queries came from the AI-visibility pass. Review-side fields, photographs, imaging and the sedation question left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check; the dentist licence layer is unset because BM&DC searches by number only and publishes none of these dentists' numbers. |
