Dear friends,
If you’re planning to work as a dentist or specialist dentist in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain, you must obtain a professional license from the Department of Health (DOH), formerly known as HAAD. Practicing without this license is illegal, so it’s essential to follow the correct process.

✅ Step 2: Log In to TAAM Portal
