Website advertising rules for dentists in France
Dentists answer to their regulator's advertising and conduct rules as well as to privacy law. This is what Code de déontologie des chirurgiens-dentistes (CSP R.4127-215-1 and ONCD recommendations) means for your website: testimonials, claims, fees, titles and the details you must show. It applies only to sites of that profession, and only where you are licensed. For the general laws every site in France must follow, see France's laws.
