At Kikuzuki-Dental.com, we believe that truth, transparency, and trust are the cornerstones of responsible digital publishing—especially when it involves topics related to finance, investments, and the dental industry. Our Fact-Check Policy outlines the framework we follow to ensure every article, guide, statistic, or claim published on our site is accurate, credible, and independently verified.

This policy is part of our editorial standards and is designed to minimize misinformation while building a reliable source of knowledge for our readers.

Objective of Our Fact-Check Policy

The goal of our Fact-Check Policy is to:

  • Eliminate false or misleading information.
  • Ensure that financial advice or industry data shared is backed by trusted sources.
  • Maintain reader trust through transparency and accountability.
  • Promote informed financial decisions for dental professionals, students, and business owners.

We understand the consequences of publishing inaccurate or unverified financial content—whether it’s misleading investment strategies or outdated dental business practices—so we take fact-checking seriously.

Our Fact-Checking Process

Our fact-checking process consists of the following key steps:

1. Research and Drafting

Before writing begins:

  • Our writers conduct preliminary research using reputable sources such as government websites, academic journals, financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and licensed publications.
  • We rely on primary sources wherever possible, especially for laws, finance schemes, and official announcements.

2. Verification During Writing

As content is written:

  • Every statistic, claim, and financial tip is hyperlinked or cited to the original source.
  • Writers are trained to differentiate between opinions and verified facts.
  • If speculative or anecdotal examples are used, they are clearly labeled as such.

3. Editorial Review

Once a draft is complete:

  • Our editorial team reviews the article for accuracy, coherence, and structure.
  • Editors verify all links, cross-check numbers, and confirm dates or figures.
  • Any ambiguity or unsupported claims are flagged for removal or correction.

4. Final Approval

Before publication:

  • A second-level check is performed by either a domain specialist (if applicable) or our site administrator to validate factual consistency.
  • The content must meet our accuracy threshold of 100% for factual statements before going live.

Trusted Sources We Use

We cross-verify facts using reliable, authoritative, and independent sources. These include:

  • Government websites: Income Tax Department (India), Ministry of Health, NITI Aayog, etc.
  • Financial regulators: RBI, SEBI, IRDAI
  • Industry bodies: Indian Dental Association (IDA), Dental Council of India (DCI)
  • Research institutions and journals: NCBI, Elsevier, PubMed, medical finance journals
  • International authorities: WHO, World Bank, ADA (American Dental Association), IMF
  • News agencies: The Hindu BusinessLine, Economic Times, Mint (financial desk only)
  • Peer-reviewed studies and white papers
  • Official press releases and public disclosures

We do not use anonymous blogs, forums, or opinion-based videos as sole sources of information.

How We Handle Corrections

Despite our best efforts, errors can occur. When they do, we follow a transparent correction process:

a) Immediate Correction

If a factual error is identified internally:

  • The content is updated immediately.
  • A correction note is added at the bottom of the article.
  • The correction is dated and includes a short explanation of what was changed.

b) User-Submitted Corrections

If a user or expert notifies us of an error:

  • We investigate the issue within 2–5 business days.
  • If valid, the correction is made with acknowledgment.
  • You can email corrections to kikuzukidental@gmail.com.

c) Revision Logs

Major updates or revisions that affect the overall meaning of an article are logged in our editorial notes for accountability.

What We Do Not Tolerate

To protect the integrity of our platform, we do not publish or tolerate the following:

  • Unverified financial advice
  • Health claims without scientific backing
  • Rumors, gossip, or promotional misinformation
  • Clickbait titles with misleading data
  • Deliberate distortions or cherry-picking of facts

Any contributor or author found repeatedly violating our standards will be removed from our platform permanently.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial and fact-checking teams operate independently of advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate arrangements.

  • All content is published based on relevance, accuracy, and reader value.
  • Financial incentives never influence our facts or conclusions.
  • Sponsored content (if any) is clearly disclosed and still must pass fact-check scrutiny.

We believe that editorial independence is essential to accurate publishing.

Financial Data and Calculators

If we provide interactive tools like ROI calculators, tax estimators, budget sheets, or dental business models, please note:

  • These tools are based on standard formulas and assumptions.
  • They are meant for educational and general planning purposes only.
  • Users should verify outputs with professionals before making actual decisions.

We test our tools regularly and cite all underlying data models or references.

Global Financial Accuracy

Though our primary focus is India, our content may refer to international dental finance trends and healthcare investment insights. When we do:

  • We indicate currency units clearly (INR, USD, etc.)
  • We cite international benchmarks and official sources
  • We avoid region-specific bias in interpreting data

Final Note

At Kikuzuki-Dental.com, we do not just write content — we stand behind every word with integrity, diligence, and research. In an age of misinformation, we see fact-checking not as a task, but as a responsibility to our readers.

We believe that accuracy builds authority, and that’s what we aim to uphold every single day.
