3. Description of Services

DentalSource is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that provides AI-powered, evidence-based clinical decision support for licensed dental professionals. The platform indexes more than 8,000 peer-reviewed dental and oral health sources, including:

The Services generate AI-synthesized summaries of relevant literature in response to clinical queries. All outputs are generated by large language model (LLM) technology and are intended solely as a starting point for professional clinical inquiry.

4. Intended Audience

DentalSource is intended for use by licensed dental professionals only. The Services are designed to assist qualified dental healthcare providers in accessing clinical literature and evidence summaries. DentalSource is not intended for use by patients, members of the general public, or any individual who is not a licensed dental professional.

By using DentalSource, you represent and warrant that you are a licensed dental professional in good standing and that you are using the Services solely in furtherance of your professional practice. DentalSource is intended for use by licensed dental professionals only — access by non-professionals does not create any relationship, obligation, or duty of care on the part of DentalSource.

5. Use of the Services

The Services are provided for educational and informational purposes only. DentalSource is not a diagnostic service, does not provide clinical diagnoses, and is not intended or designed to replace the clinical judgment of a qualified dental professional.

No dentist-patient relationship, provider-patient relationship, or any other professional relationship is created between DentalSource and any user or third party by virtue of use of the Services. DentalSource does not practice dentistry and does not provide dental or medical advice.

Clinical decisions, including diagnosis, treatment planning, prescribing, and patient management, remain exclusively within the professional judgment and legal responsibility of the treating dental professional. You should always review, verify, and independently evaluate any information generated by the Services before applying it in clinical practice.

6. User Responsibility

You, as a licensed dental professional, are solely responsible for evaluating the information provided through the Services and for all clinical decisions made in connection with your professional practice. DentalSource provides supporting information only — the weight given to any output, and the ultimate clinical decision, rests entirely with the treating professional.

You acknowledge that AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information, and that no AI system can account for the unique facts of an individual patient's presentation, history, or circumstances. You agree to independently verify the accuracy, completeness, and currency of all information before relying upon it in clinical practice.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws, regulations, professional licensing requirements, and ethical standards governing the practice of dentistry in your jurisdiction.

7. Consumer Disclaimer

If you are a patient or member of the general public (and not a licensed dental professional), please be aware of the following:

8. Account Registration

Certain features of the Services may require account registration. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information.

You agree to cooperate with any such verification process.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify DentalSource immediately at peter@dentalsource.ai if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.
