The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has suspended some non-urgent elective dental services across its facilities.

The number of dental clinics across the DHA's network have also been reduced as a precautionary measure to protect patients and healthcare personnel from COVID-19 and prevent its spread.

Dental services will be provided at the following DHA centres from Sunday to Thursday (7:30 am to 9:30 pm): Al Mizhar Health Centre, Nad Al Hamar Health Centre, Al Barsha Health Centre, Al Safa Health Centre, Al Mamzar Health Centre (for children only), Rashid Hospital and Hatta Hospital.

Nad Al Hamar Centre and Al Barsha Centre will cater to emergency dental cases only, while the remaining health facilities will accept patients with prior appointments, the authority added.
