To help parents choose a good doctorfor the child, the popular information resource about dentistry Startsmile.ru and Publishing House "Kommersant" compiled an independent rating of private children's dental clinics in Russia in 2016. This is a nonprofit project, which has been held for the second consecutive year. Its goal is to find the best representatives of the industry.A photo: Getty Images To get to the rating, the clinic was to leave an application on the site Startsmile.ru. With the support of leading experts, the organizers evaluated the participants on more than sixteen parameters. The main condition is that a medical institution must have an official license for conducting a children's reception, and certified specialists in the field of "pediatric dentistry" should work in the state. The jury also paid attention to the availability of specially equipped children's rooms, separate armchairs for toddlers, game rooms and certain types of anesthesia . An important role was played by the range of services provided by the clinic, as well as the number of doctors specializing only in the treatment of small patients. For each criterion, the clinic received a certain number of points, and their amount influenced the place in the rating. There were other selection criteria. So, information about the clinic should be publicly available, and the management - on the first request to present certificates, diplomas and other necessary documents. In a word, the organizers insisted on full transparency.
