Top 3 Dentists in Al Mazar Al Janubi 2026

When do you need a dentist?

Dentistry covers the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the teeth, gums and mouth, from a simple cavity to more complex oral surgery. Common reasons people in Al Mazar Al Janubi and the wider Karak Governorate book a dental visit include:

• Persistent tooth or gum pain, especially pain that wakes you at night or lingers after hot or cold drinks.
• Bleeding gums when brushing, which is often an early sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis) and is usually easier to manage when caught early.
• A visible cavity, dark spot or chipped tooth, even if it does not hurt yet.
• Sensitivity to cold, heat or sweet foods.
• Routine check-ups and cleaning. Many people are advised to attend about every six months, although your dentist may recommend a different interval depending on your oral health.
• Children's teeth: decay in baby teeth matters, because it can cause pain and infection and affect the teeth that come through later.

The three clinics on this page all publish the same core services: check-ups, cleaning and tartar removal, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, crowns and bridges, whitening, gum care and panoramic X-rays.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Most dental problems can wait for a normal appointment, but some cannot. Seek help the same day, and call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department if you have:

• Swelling of the face, jaw or neck that is spreading, especially with fever.
• Difficulty breathing, swallowing or opening your mouth.
• Heavy bleeding from the mouth that does not stop with firm pressure.
• A serious injury to the face or jaw, for example after a fall or road accident.

If an adult tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown (not the root), keep it moist, ideally in milk, and get to a dentist as quickly as possible. Do not try to treat a dental abscess on your own, and do not take leftover antibiotics.

How to choose among the dentists here

Because the three profiles list the same range of services, the practical differences come down to location, hours, insurance and how you arrange the visit.

• Opening hours. Amad Medical Center's confirmed hours show it open around the clock every day. Dr. Anas Abdelwahab Bashir Rawashdeh's clinic opens 09:00–22:00 Saturday to Thursday and 16:00–22:00 on Friday. Dr. Mohammad Al Jaafreh's clinic opens 09:00–23:30 Saturday to Thursday. Hours can change, so call before travelling, particularly late at night or on Friday.
• Insurance. Only Amad Medical Center lists an insurer on its profile (Arab Orient Insurance). If you have a different policy, ask each clinic directly whether it is accepted.
• Who will treat you. At a medical centre, more than one dentist may work there. Amad Medical Center's profile asks patients to confirm the attending dentist when booking, so ask for Dr. Ammar Al Tarawneh by name if you want to see him.
• The treatment you need. For a check-up or cleaning, convenience usually matters most. For longer treatments such as root canal therapy, crowns or bridges, which may take several visits, choose a clinic whose hours you can keep returning to.
• Children. All three list treatment of decay and inflammation in children. Ask how the clinic handles young or anxious patients and whether a parent can stay in the room.
• X-rays on site. All three list panoramic (OPG) X-rays, which can save a separate trip for imaging.

Remember that the order on this page reflects profile completeness only. It is not a judgement of which dentist will give you better care.

What to expect at the first visit

A first dental appointment usually starts with questions about your symptoms and medical history, followed by an examination of your teeth, gums and mouth. The dentist may suggest an X-ray before recommending treatment. Amad Medical Center's profile describes this as examination, diagnosis and an individual care plan.

What to bring

• Your national ID or passport and your insurance card, if you have one.
• A list of any medicines you take, especially blood thinners, and any allergies.
• Information about conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or pregnancy, which can affect dental treatment.
• Any previous dental X-rays or reports.

Questions worth asking

• What is causing the problem, and what are the treatment options, including doing nothing for now?
• How many visits will the treatment need, and what will each step involve?
• What will it cost in total, and what does my insurance cover?
• What should I do if pain or swelling gets worse after treatment?

It is reasonable to ask for time to think before agreeing to larger or cosmetic treatments such as crowns or whitening.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Fees are not shown on these profiles, so ask the clinic before you go. Useful questions include:

• What is the fee for the first consultation, and is an X-ray charged separately?
• Can you give a written estimate for multi-visit treatment such as root canal therapy, crowns or bridges?
• Do you accept my insurance, and does it need pre-approval for this treatment?
• Is the dentist I want to see available on the day I am booking?

Arab Orient Insurance holders can check the listed coverage with Amad Medical Center, where booking goes through the reception at Al Saleh Commercial Complex. For the other two clinics, confirm insurance acceptance when you call. All three profiles recommend confirming the attending clinician, appointment time and service before you set off.

Getting there

All three clinics are in Al-Mazar Al-Janubi district, in Karak Governorate in central-south Jordan. The district is within reach for residents of nearby areas such as Mutah and Karak city, and for people travelling from Al-Qasr, Faqou or Ghor Al-Safi. The exact street address and map location of each clinic appear on its profile card above.

For serious emergencies, the governorate's hospitals include Karak Government Hospital, Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital, the Italian Hospital and Ghor Al-Safi Government Hospital. In a life-threatening situation, call 911 rather than travelling on your own.

Checklist before you book

• Decide whether you need a routine check-up, treatment of pain, or a planned procedure.
• Check for urgent warning signs; if present, call 911 or go to an emergency department.
• Compare each clinic's confirmed hours with when you can realistically attend.
• Call to confirm the attending dentist, the appointment time and the service.
• Ask about the consultation fee and any X-ray charges.
• Confirm whether your insurance is accepted and whether pre-approval is needed.
• Prepare your ID, insurance card, medicine list and any previous X-rays.
• For children, ask how the clinic manages young patients.
