What AiOraly's materials are based on
AiOraly uses official patient guidance, public health materials, and evidence-based reviews. This is a foundation for education and prevention, not for self-diagnosis.
How we use these sources. The text doesn't copy guidance word for word. We rework it into short patient explanations, add red flags, and keep the boundary clear: decisions about diagnosis and treatment are made by a dentist.
