How to Verify a Dentist or Dental Clinic in Kenya (Before Any Treatment)

Before you sit in a dental chair, there is one question that matters more than price, location, or convenience:

Is this dentist and clinic licensed?

Recent incidents in Kenya have shown that receiving treatment from unqualified individuals can lead to severe complications even death. Fortunately, verifying a dentist in Kenya is simple, fast, and free.

1. Use the KMPDC Website

  • Search for:

    • Registered dentists

    • Licensed dental clinics

  • Confirm:

    • Name

    • Registration status

    • Practice location

If the name or clinic does not appear, do not proceed

2. Verify via SMS (Fastest Method)

3. Ask Questions It’s Your Right

A licensed clinic will never hesitate to answer:

  • Who is treating me?

  • What are their qualifications?

  • Is this clinic registered?

If you’re discouraged from asking, walk away.

Why This Matters

According to the Kenya Dental Association (KDA):

  • Dentistry is a regulated medical profession

Verification protects:

  • Your health
