Dental Information Reviewed by Reveal’s Clinical Team
Dental information can affect decisions about pain, treatment, cost and timing. Reveal Medical Center therefore assigns health-related content to an appropriately qualified reviewer before publication.
Review responsibility depends on the subject:
- Dr. Alaa Abou Laban reviews relevant general, restorative, implant and treatment-planning content.
- Dr. Hussam Mustafa Shaban reviews orthodontic and bite-corrected content.
- Dr. Nermin Kamal Mahmoud may review relevant prosthodontic and restorative content.
The reviewer checks whether the article:
- Accurately describes the concern or treatment
- Distinguishes general information from individual diagnosis
- Includes relevant limitations, alternatives and risks
- Uses professional titles and treatment terminology correctly
- Avoids guaranteed or exaggerated outcomes
- Uses appropriate supporting sources
- Directs urgent concerns to professional care
Each article displays its author, medical reviewer, publication date, last substantive update and references where appropriate.
How to Use Our Dental Articles
Use these guides to understand terminology, prepare questions and become familiar with possible treatment pathways.
They should not be used to:
- Diagnose a dental condition without examination
- Decide that a treatment is suitable without professional assessment
- Delay urgent dental or medical care
- Change prescribed medication
- Rely on a quoted price that is no longer current
- Assume that another patient’s experience predicts your result
A dentist may require an examination, X-rays, scans, photographs, periodontal assessment or other diagnostic information before making a recommendation.
