Why We Created This Policy
Most patients get to know their dentist even before they step into the dental office. At Astra Dent Warsaw, we believe that a dentist’s responsibility begins not in the dental office, but much earlier—the moment a patient reads information about their health, symptoms, and treatment options.
That is why every piece of content on our website is created according to the same principles that guide us when treating patients: professionalism, honesty, evidence-based practice, and respect for the individual.
This editorial policy explains how we create medical content, who is responsible for its quality, what sources we use, how we verify information, when we update our content, and why you can trust what you read on the Astra Dent website.
The Principles We Follow
Every piece of content on the Astra Dent Warsaw website undergoes the same editorial process and is created in accordance with principles that help us maintain high quality, accuracy, and practical value in the information we provide.
We Write for Patients, Not for Algorithms
We create content first and foremost for people. Our goal is to help patients understand complex dental issues, prepare for their appointments, and make informed decisions about their treatment.
We rely on evidence-based medicine
In our materials, we use current clinical guidelines, scientific research findings, and the positions of international professional organizations. If there are differing approaches or scientific debates regarding a particular issue, we strive to reflect this honestly in our content, without presenting assumptions as proven facts.
We combine science with practical experience
We believe that high-quality medical content should be based not only on scientific sources but also on real-world clinical experience. That is why, when preparing our content, we draw on the experience of the doctors at Astra Dent Warsaw, who work with patients every day, answer their questions, and help them find the best solutions in various clinical situations.
We explain complex concepts in simple language
Dentistry involves many technical terms that may be difficult to understand without specialized training. We strive to explain them in simple and clear language without oversimplifying the medical content or compromising the accuracy of the information.
We Maintain Objectivity
We strive to provide honest information not only about the benefits of treatment methods but also about their potential limitations, indications, contraindications, and risks. If there are several clinically sound treatment options, we explain each one so that patients can discuss the most appropriate choice with their doctor.
We Update Our Content Regularly
Dentistry is constantly evolving, so information needs to be reviewed regularly. We review our medical content at least once every six months—or sooner if new clinical guidelines or scientific data emerge, or if treatment approaches change.
We are transparent about authorship
We believe that readers should know who created the content and who verified its medical accuracy. That is why the author, editor, publication date, and date of the last update are listed on the website’s pages.
We continuously improve our content
Astra Dent Warsaw’s editorial policy is not a static document. We regularly analyze feedback from patients, monitor developments in evidence-based medicine, updates to international clinical guidelines, and requirements for the quality of medical content to ensure our materials remain relevant, useful, and trustworthy.
Our experience begins in the dental office, not in the newsroom
Every day, the dentists at Astra Dent Warsaw consult with patients, explain CT scan results, discuss various treatment options, answer dozens of similar questions, and help debunk myths that people find online.
It is these real-life situations that form the basis for most of our content.
Afterward, the editorial team works with the dentists to determine which information warrants a more detailed explanation, which topics require further clarification, and which questions patients ask most frequently.
In this way, every article combines the clinical experience of our specialists with the latest scientific findings.
How Medical Content Is Created
Every article undergoes an editorial process, regardless of its topic.
Step 1. Selecting a Topic
We analyze patients’ questions, doctors’ clinical experience, current recommendations from professional associations, and changes in dental practice.
If a topic has no practical benefit for patients or cannot be supported by sufficient scientific evidence, we do not publish it.
Step 2. Preparing the Content
A medical writer works on the article in close collaboration with Astra Dent dentists.
While preparing the content, we review scientific publications, clinical guidelines, and official documents from professional organizations. We strive to explain complex medical topics in simple language without oversimplifying the content.
Step 3. Medical Review
Once the article is complete, it is forwarded to a doctor with the relevant specialty.
The doctor checks:
- whether the information aligns with current clinical guidelines;
- whether there are any factual errors;
- whether indications, contraindications, and potential risks are accurately described;
- whether certain phrasing could mislead patients.
If any issues arise during the review, the manuscript is returned to the editor for revision. Publication is possible only after approval by the medical reviewer.
Final approval is granted by the medical editor at Astra Dent Warsaw.
We do not use unreliable sources
Information in the field of medicine changes rapidly, which is why the Astra Dent Warsaw team does not rely on individual articles from the internet or unverified opinions.
When preparing content, our editorial team uses recommendations from international professional organizations, systematic reviews, and peer-reviewed scientific studies. Our primary sources include:
- recommendations from the American Dental Association (ADA);
- the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP);
- the FDI World Dental Federation;
- the European Society of Endodontology;
- the World Health Organization (WHO);
- the Cochrane Library;
- PubMed;
- the Polish Dental Association;
- current clinical guidelines and systematic reviews.
We strive to use the most up-to-date sources, and if new research changes treatment approaches, the relevant materials are reviewed and updated.
Our Criteria for Sources
Not all sources of information are equally reliable, so when preparing our content, we give priority to:
- international clinical guidelines;
- systematic reviews;
- clinical studies;
- official recommendations from professional associations.
We do not use information from unverified blogs, forums, social media, or materials without confirmed scientific value as our primary source.
Accuracy of Prices and Special Offers
We strive to keep the information about service costs, special offers, and promotions on the Astra Dent Warsaw website up to date and regularly update it in line with changes in our operations.
At the same time, dental treatment is often individualized and depends on the clinical situation, the scope of necessary procedures, the chosen treatment plan, and other medical factors. For this reason, the final cost of services may differ from the information provided on the website.
We recommend verifying current prices, terms of promotions, and special offers directly at the Astra Dent Warsaw dental clinic where your treatment is scheduled, or by contacting our administrative staff.
In the event of any discrepancies between the information published on the website and the information provided during scheduling or consultation, the information confirmed by Astra Dent Warsaw shall take precedence.
***
Dentistry is a field where inaccurate or outdated information can affect a person’s health. That is why we carefully prepare each article to address patients’ real questions, provide information about possible treatment methods, and outline modern clinical approaches. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision together with your dentist to maintain the health of your smile.
