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.

Summary
Multi-dentist general and specialist practice in the Hoora district of Manama (NHRA licence 150203-0039), publishing a four-dentist team (endodontic, orthodontic, prosthodontic and pediatric coverage) and offering Hollywood smile, whitening, implants and radiology.
The Google Maps listing shows a website (tbbahrain.com); the site publishes the team, an itemised service list, per-service and per-dentist pages, and a 16-item price list in BD at /prices/ (all opened 2026-09-02). Licensing cross-check: the site names 4 dentists (Gerashi, Krishnan, Amal Ameer Abdulla Salman, Fatema AlSari). Checked each against the September 2026 NHRA Licensed Dental Practitioners list (1,323 rows): Gerashi confirmed at this facility; "Anil Krishnan" has no matching record under any spelling variant tried; a similarly-named "Amal Abdulameer Abdulla Salman Mohamed" is registered, but at a different facility (UNICARE DENTAL CENTER W.L.L), not here; "Fatema AlSari" has no exact match, though a differently-surnamed Fatema is registered at this facility. Exactly three dentists are registered here and all three are listed above. The facility licence itself is independently confirmed active regardless of these per-doctor gaps.

| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (15 reviews read): owner replies to reviews no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Hospital Examiner or Trustpilot (its Urbi map listing takes no reviews); the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. Rating and review count reproduced unchanged from the histogram. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Not-found rule: re-downloaded and parsed the NHRA September 2026 practitioner list (1,323 rows) directly. "Anil Krishnan" — zero match under any spelling — now carries licenseNotFound: 2026-09-02 with license:null instead of a bare null that misleadingly reads as "not checked yet". "Amal Ameer Abdulla Salman" — confirmed as "Amal Abdulameer Abdulla Salman Mohamed", licence 11018202, registered at UNICARE DENTAL CENTER W.L.L — was found, just elsewhere, so licenseNotFound does not apply; her row now carries the real licence number instead of null, matching the Ali/Yumna "found elsewhere" pattern already used on this card's siblings. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Bahrain Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via tbbahrain.com, Google Maps and the NHRA Open Data facility and dental-practitioner registers. |
