General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

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
Daugavpils Zobārstniecības poliklīnika is a municipally-linked dental polyclinic on Lāčplēša iela, operating as a branch of Daugavpils bērnu veselības centrs, SIA.

Reputation & Reviews
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.

|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-05 | onOtherPlatforms true → false: the DentaTOP page it rested on has no reviews and nothing showing that the clinic manages it. No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no owner replies found; no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: business structured data present; no separate service pages. |
| 2026-10-01 | Operator change recorded: the polyclinic’s company was merged into SIA “Daugavpils bērnu veselības centrs” (struck off 11 August 2026); the polyclinic keeps working at the same address, so the card stays. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies; active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established. |
