Dentists in Qatar

A guest of mine recently had severe toothache while visiting me in Qatar. My first reaction was panic, as I always seem to hear stories of people who have paid a fortune for dental treatment in Qatar.

Fortunately, a friend told me about the dental clinics in the health centres. While our local health centre was shut (it was Saturday), a trip to Muntazah clinic saw my guest being treated in the dentist’s room within two minutes of arriving at the clinic. The cost: QAR 30 for the treatment, as my guest did not have a health card, and QAR 5 for the antibiotics and painkillers.

The medical centres do not just provide emergency treatment: from Sunday to Thursday they are available for checkups.

Another acquaintance went to a private dentist here to be quoted QAR 25,000 for the treatment he required. He changed dentist, but when it came to having the operation the dentist referred him back to the health system, saying the dentistry required was too complex for his clinic. The whole thing - private appointments included - will now cost him in the region of QAR 8000.

All this has lead to our latest article on our website, Qatar Dentists, which includes the pluses and minuses of going private, how to go get treatment at the dental section of Rumeila hospital as well as including a list of private dentists.

Note - you can now rate the Dentists on this page - please do so if you have a positive/negative experience with Qatar dentists as you can then help to guide other people to best dentists!
