All content published on this website is reviewed by Dentist K.N. Malik. Here you can read who is responsible for our information, where to find supporting sources and how to contact us if something is unclear.
1. Who reviews our information?
Dentist K.N. Malik is a dentist and practice owner, graduated from ACTA in Amsterdam and registered in the Dutch BIG register. Her BIG registration number is 69928460002. Our dental team and qualifications lists our healthcare professionals’ names, roles and available registration details. You can check a registration through the BIG register.
Dentist K.N. Malik reviews the information for both the Dutch and English website. You can find her professional background and the roles of our other healthcare professionals on the team page.
2. How our treatment information can help you
Our treatment pages help you understand what a treatment is intended for, what an examination or procedure may involve and what to discuss with your dentist. You can use this information to prepare questions about suitability, possible risks, alternatives and costs.
The information is general. Your own diagnosis, treatment plan and estimate depend on an assessment of your circumstances. Reading a page or submitting a form does not replace a treatment discussion or give consent to a procedure.
3. Where our information comes from
For further information about oral healthcare, you can consult professional guidelines and reliable patient information. Sources include the KNMT, KIMO, Thuisarts.nl and the NHS.
These links let you read more about the subject and see the information behind an explanation. An external source may describe care beyond what we offer. For treatments available at Tandartspraktijk Mathenesse, please refer to our own treatment pages or ask the practice.
4. Questions about our information
Our website provides general explanations of oral healthcare and practical information about the practice. Dentist K.N. Malik reviews all content published on this website.
If you have a question about whether an explanation still applies to your situation, please ask your dentist. Our practice contact details and opening hours provides the practice’s contact details and opening hours.
5. Understanding costs
Our Tariffs and payment page explains where to find tariff information, how to request an estimate and how payment through Infomedics works. The Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) publishes the applicable tariff rules.
A maximum tariff for a treatment code is not an estimate of your complete treatment. Your costs depend on the treatment involved, any material or dental laboratory costs and your insurance reimbursement. You can request an estimate from the practice to understand the costs for your situation.
6. Clear information about our practice
We distinguish general information about dental care from the treatments and services available at Tandartspraktijk Mathenesse. Our explanations help you understand your options without promising a particular result. Your dentist can discuss what is suitable for your situation.
Images used to explain a treatment should not be taken as a prediction of your own result.
7. Human review of our website information
All content published on this website is reviewed by Dentist K.N. Malik. This applies to both the Dutch and English versions, so you receive the same practice information whichever language you read.
8. Finding emergency help or making a complaint
During our opening hours, you can call the practice on 010 437 0595 about an urgent dental problem. The team assesses urgency and available appointment options.
Outside our opening hours, our emergency dental care instructions directs patients to Tandartsenpost010. Call 010 455 2155 first and follow their instructions. Tandartsenpost010 is an independent organisation; treatment and payment are arranged directly with that service. Do not use a website form for emergencies.
If you are unhappy with your care, our complaints procedure explains whom to contact at the practice and how to access the KNMT Complaints Service and the Dutch Oral Healthcare Disputes Body (Geschilleninstantie Mondzorg).
9. Tell us if something is unclear
If you notice information that appears incorrect, outdated or unclear, send the page link and a short description to [email protected], or contact the practice. Tell us which passage you mean; you can also include a source that helps explain your concern.
You do not need to share personal health information to report a text error. Our privacy policy explains how the practice handles data. For a complaint about your care, please use the complaints procedure linked above.
