How to Practice as a GENERAL DENTIST in DUBAI - Step 1: Registering with DHA

It's been a while. Life took over!
Some of you might know that I sold my clinic in Bangalore, had a baby and moved to Dubai. And there is more news!
I can now legally practice in Dubai. I got my license a few weeks back and I thought I should share a step-by-step process of how a dentist from India can practice in Dubai.
So, let's get started.
We cover the following:
00:00 - Introduction
01:24 - Remember the word - D.H.A.
01:58 - About DHA
03:05 - Registering with DHA
07:13 - Checking eligibility
Hope it helps
Regards,
Dr. Lakshmy

Hello doc...I am from Pune...and planning to shift in Dubai in couple of months...want to ask about gap in practice..I have done my UG in 2009 ..then MDS oral pathology in 2014-2017..agin gap in practice during COVID...can show the gap in experience..?

[@ldfs_in]

according to DHA policy, depending upon the gap duration, the eligibility varies. you can try the self assessment form and check your eligibility. have explained the process to do it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGOwnY2jnM6hnKM

[@NM-tj5tm]

Thanks doctor.

Hy Is 2 year experience calculated from date of issue of permanent registration? Can work experience with provisional registration can also be included? I have 2 year experience but i got my permanent registration only after 5 months.

[@ldfs_in]

It should work. But many faced this issue , that during licensing when the experience was cut to cut 3 years. They were not eligible and where told to go through the other channel where they have to show the documents to DHA personally. So, ideally its better if u have more than 3 years experience to avoid this hassle.and also u can check ur eligibility on self assessment test.

Hi doc, Yes, doc. U may not qualify the requirement of a DHA general dentist license. But u can try as a trainee and then convert it to a general dentist license after some years. Thank u so much for ur encouraging words. It means a lot to us. 😀
