Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-06 | Read the clinic's Facebook page in full on 2026-10-06: it publishes no prices, so the seven price criteria, left open after the clinic's website stopped opening, are now answered from that read. |
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-10-05: its latest post gives a Viber / WhatsApp number, so messaging by WhatsApp is recorded as available; the page is confirmed as its own and active. |
| 2026-10-05 | Corrected 2026-10-05: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-10-05 | Re-read on 2026-10-05: the clinic's website address, www.bocobodentalcare.com, returns the site builder's "domain not connected" error page, so the link is removed and the website, its English version, structured data, service pages and search visibility are corrected; weekend opening is recorded from the Google listing. |
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): the owner replies to reviews; a repeated complaint among the lowest-rated reviews; no sign of manipulated reviews. |
