| 2026-08-26 | Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. IV sedation with certified anesthesiologist offered, but described as conscious sedation: 'you remain conscious...most patients remember no discomfort afterward.' |
| 2026-08-26 | Cancun Dental Care | Deepen 2026-08-26: website returned HTTP 403 'Access Denied' (IP2Location country blocker) on both WebFetch and browser today - could not directly open cancungentledental.com to verify content, so 'website live' is not in confirmed (site is reachable in principle - error page loads - but this session's IP is blocked from content); Google Maps (4.7/417 reviews, open, added geo+place URL) and Dental Departures ('Verified' incl. license check, 4.97/303 reviews) independently confirm the clinic is actively operating; added 2 new external sources (Dental Departures, WhatClinic) beyond own site (onOtherPlatforms was previously unset, now true); Dental Departures names a doctor (Dr. José Marcos Perales Payan) absent from the on-file empty doctors[] - flagged for manual addition since the clinic's own site still lists no individual names; sedation stays null (site inaccessible this session; see sedation file for the two unverified snippets found); visibility scout 5 queries (present only for 'emergency dentist Cancún'); no uncited sources found among s18/s19/sq. |

| 2026-08-26 | Consuldent Cancún | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, phone unchanged) and found the clinic's Google Maps listing - titled generically 'Consultorio Dental' but confirmed as the same business via matching website URL (consuldentcancun.com) and phone number; DISCOVERED precise street address and coordinates via Maps (on file was only 'Cancún, Q. Roo, Mexico') - partially resolves the on-file 'no_address' red flag; listing has 0 reviews as of today so no star rating to report; added 1 new external source (Doctoralia directory) beyond own site (onOtherPlatforms was previously unset, now true); sedation stays null (no info found, Spanish-only site + Doctoralia checked); visibility scout 5 queries (not present in any top results today); no uncited sources found among s17/sq. |

Maps number confirmed) and Google Maps (now shows as 'Cancun Implant Dentistry', 4.8/69 reviews, added geo+place URL); added 1 new external source (WhatClinic, 3 reviews) beyond own site; sedation stays null (only generic 'bajo anestesia o sedación' found on bone-graft page, no general-anaesthesia language); visibility scout 5 queries (not present in any top results today); no uncited sources found among s3/sq. |

| 2026-08-26 | Dentavida | Link-rot cleanup round 2 (2026-08-26): s11 (dentavida.com.mx/orthodontics-in-cancun/?lang=en) still 404s; root domain confirmed live but no English version/toggle found anywhere on the site on direct recheck — refreshed englishVersion to false (was true). worksWithForeigners ('English pages provided') and aiVisibility.dedicatedServicePages, both solely evidenced by the same now-missing English pages, could not be independently reconfirmed from the live Spanish-only site and are left unresolved with s11 still cited (not pruned). |

| 2026-08-26 | Shtern Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Sinus lift page: 'performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the case complexity' - general anesthesia explicitly offered for surgical procedures. |
| 2026-08-25 | Calident Cancun | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's only clinic-scope registry (CLUES, DGIS): host unreachable, no query could be run, clinicLicense left null. No individual dentist names are published on this clinic's site, so no doctor lookups applied. |
| 2026-08-25 | Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 7 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Cancun Dental Care | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's only clinic-scope registry (CLUES, DGIS): host unreachable, no query could be run, clinicLicense left null. No individual dentist names are published on this clinic's site, so no doctor lookups applied. |
| 2026-08-25 | Cancun Dental Specialists | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 11 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Consuldent Cancún | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 1 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental Design Studio | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 2 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental Destinations Cancun | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 1 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental Evolution | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's only clinic-scope registry (CLUES, DGIS): host unreachable, no query could be run, clinicLicense left null. No individual dentist names are published on this clinic's site, so no doctor lookups applied. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentaris | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 1 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentavida | License verification 2026-08-25: Mexico's only clinic-scope registry (CLUES) could not be queried (master-file host unreachable), so clinicLicense is left null. Doctor licenses were not re-checked — both named dentists already carry self-reported cédula profesional numbers from the clinic's own site, and RNP (the only registry that could verify them) is confirmed unreachable today, so the existing values were left unchanged rather than overwritten with null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Methodology v1.3.0 | Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed. |
| 2026-08-25 | Ocean Dental Cancun | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 4 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Shtern Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 11 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
| 2026-08-23 | Methodology v1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
