Vetted Dentists is a directory of dentists built from public records. You can use it without an account, and we collect very little about visitors.

What we collect

  • What you send us. If you use a form on this site, we store what you enter: your name, email address, phone number if you give one, and your message. We use it only to handle your request.
  • Basic technical records. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes the technical details of each request, such as IP address and browser type, to deliver pages and block abuse. When you send a form we also store a scrambled, short-lived version of your IP address to limit repeated submissions.
  • Your location, only in your browser. If you choose “Use my location” in search, your browser uses your position to sort results. Your position is not sent to us or stored.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.

Public-record data about dentists

Listings show professional information that government agencies publish: name, credential, specialty and practice address from the federal NPI Registry, and license number, status, dates and permits from the Dental Board of California. We publish a street address and phone number only when a second public record confirms that the address is a practice. Dentists can correct or remove a listing on the update or remove a listing page.

Cookies and analytics

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies and runs no third-party analytics. Two features contact other services, and only when you use them: “Show map” loads map images from OpenStreetMap, and “Get directions” opens Google Maps. Those services receive your IP address and apply their own privacy policies.

Your California privacy rights

California residents can ask what personal information we hold about them, ask us to correct it and ask us to delete it. To make a request, use the contact page. We will confirm your identity before acting and will not treat you differently for making a request. Dentists asking about a listing should use the update or remove a listing page.

Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page. If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of the page.
