If you are planning to start your dental career in the Northern Emirates (Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain), obtaining a professional license from the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) is your essential first step. Since international dental licenses are not automatically recognized in the UAE, passing the MOHAP licensing exam is required to ensure your practice meets the country’s high clinical standards.
It is important to understand that the UAE’s healthcare licensing is regional: Dubai is regulated by the DHA, Abu Dhabi by the DOH, while the Northern Emirates fall under the jurisdiction of MOHAP. These specific processes are in place to guarantee patient safety and maintain quality care across the Emirates.
At Amber, we simplify this entire pathway for you. From initial document verification to final exam registration, we provide the dedicated support needed for a smooth and successful transition into the UAE’s healthcare sector.



International dentists holding a recognized degree and a valid license from their home country are generally eligible. At Amber, we help you verify your documents against the specific Ministry criteria to ensure a smooth application.
The exam usually consists of 150 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) focused on clinical scenarios. You will have approximately 150 to 170 minutes to complete the test, which is delivered via the Prometric platform.
A score of approximately 70% is generally required, though it varies for each exam. Our training is designed to help you consistently score well above this mark during your mock tests.
The core program runs for 12 weeks. This includes a structured mix of live interactive sessions, recorded lectures, and intensive mock exam practice.
