Top 7 Dentists in Al Thaniyah 2026

When do you need a dentist?

Dentists diagnose and treat problems of the teeth, gums and mouth, from a small cavity to extractions and oral surgery. The seven profiles on this page publish the same broad set of services: check-ups and cleaning, tartar and plaque removal, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, crowns (including zirconium), bridges, gum care, sensitivity treatment, whitening, treatment of decay in children and panoramic X-rays (OPG).

Book a routine appointment if you notice:

• Tooth or gum pain that lasts more than a day or two, or keeps coming back
• Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
• A visible hole, dark spot, chipped or cracked tooth
• Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food that is getting worse
• Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
• A lost filling or a crown that has come loose

Many people also choose a check-up and cleaning about every six months. Your dentist may suggest a different interval depending on your gums, decay risk and general health. Children benefit from regular visits from the time their first teeth appear.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Some dental problems can become serious quickly. Call 911, Jordan's emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

• Swelling of the face, jaw or neck that is spreading, or that affects breathing, swallowing or opening the mouth
• Fever with a swollen face or severe toothache
• Bleeding after an extraction that does not stop despite firm pressure on a gauze pad
• A face or jaw injury with a head injury, confusion, vomiting or difficulty breathing

A knocked-out adult tooth is also urgent. Contact a dentist straight away, because quick treatment gives the best chance of saving it.

How to choose among the dentists listed here

All seven profiles list a similar range of general services, so practical factors will usually make the decision:

• The treatment you need. For braces, alignment or bite problems, Dr. Sara Qasem Al Maaitah's profile lists orthodontics as a sub-specialty and describes orthodontic assessment and planning. For fillings, cleaning, root canal treatment or crowns, any of the listed clinics publishes these services. Confirm by phone that the specific treatment is offered at the time you want.
• Opening hours. Hours vary widely. Several clinics work Saturday to Thursday during the day. Dr. Abdallah Ismail Rawashdeh's clinic opens until 21:00 on most days and also on Friday. Jubilee Specialized Medical Center lists 07:30–01:00 every day. Two clinics show 24-hour hours every day. If you plan to go late at night, ask first whether a dentist will actually be there.
• Insurance. Four profiles list 12 insurers, including MedGulf, MetLife Alico, The Islamic Insurance Company and several plans administered by NatHealth. Check that your exact plan is accepted.
• Access. Several clinics are on upper floors of commercial complexes. If stairs are difficult for you, a child or an older relative, ask whether there is a lift.
• Comfort. If you would rather see a female dentist, the profile of Dr. Sara Qasem Al Maaitah lists her gender.

If you searched for the best dentists in Al Thaniyah, remember that the order on this page reflects how complete each profile is, not treatment quality. A good fit is a dentist who explains your options clearly and whose hours, location and payment arrangements work for you.

What to expect at the first visit

A first appointment usually starts with questions about your symptoms, medical history and any medicines you take. The dentist then examines your teeth and gums. An X-ray may be suggested. Several profiles here list panoramic X-rays (OPG), which show all the teeth and jaws in one image. You should then hear what the dentist has found and which treatment options are available.

How to prepare

• Brush and floss as usual before the visit.
• Note when the pain or problem started, what makes it worse, and any swelling or fever.
• Bring a list of your medicines, especially blood thinners, and mention conditions such as diabetes, heart problems or pregnancy.
• Bring your national ID or passport, your insurance card and any earlier dental X-rays or reports.
• For a child, bring their health records and tell the dentist about any fears they have.

Questions worth asking

• What is causing the problem, and what happens if I wait?
• What are the options, for example a filling, root canal treatment or extraction, and what are the pros and cons of each?
• How many visits will the treatment need?
• What should I avoid afterwards, and which symptoms mean I should come back early?

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

Before you go, a short call can save a wasted trip:

• Confirm attendance. Several profiles ask patients to confirm that the dentist is attending at the booked time. This is especially worth doing at a medical centre with several clinics, or at a clinic listing very long hours.
• Check your insurance in detail. Ask whether your specific policy is accepted, whether you need prior approval for treatments such as crowns or root canal treatment, and whether cosmetic services such as whitening are covered. Many policies treat cosmetic work differently.
• Ask about cost. Ask the price of the consultation and any X-ray, and request an estimate before agreeing to a longer treatment plan. Ask whether the estimate is per tooth or per session.
• Describe your problem. Say whether it is a check-up, pain, a broken tooth or an orthodontic question, so the clinic books enough time.

Getting there

All seven profiles are in Al Thaniyah, within Karak governorate, which serves residents from Karak city, Mutah, Al-Mazar Al-Janubi, Al-Qasr, Ghor Al-Safi and Faqou. Several profiles give landmarks that make the clinics easier to find:

• Dr. Ahmad Mubarak Al Dhunaybat: Al Mufalfal Complex, second floor, opposite Niran Pharmacy
• Dr. Sara Qasem Al Maaitah: Consultants Complex, first floor, above Subhiyat Pharmacy
• Dr. Shahem Waleed Al Rawadieh: Al Faisal Complex, fourth floor, opposite Arab Bank

If you are coming from Ghor Al-Safi or another outlying area, call ahead so the trip is not wasted. For emergencies beyond what a clinic can handle, call 911. Hospitals in the governorate include Karak Government Hospital, Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein Military Hospital, the Italian Hospital and Ghor Al-Safi Government Hospital.
