About Dr. Najma Akther
Dr. Najma Akther is a dentist at Dar Al Kamal Hospital in Sharjah. The core of Dr. Akther's work is finding out what is wrong and fixing it: examining the teeth and mouth, diagnosing tooth decay and other oral problems, filling cavities and planning further treatment where it is needed.
Many people put off the dentist because they are nervous. Dr. Akther pays particular attention to anxious patients and helps them overcome dental fears with patience and compassion, so that treatment can go ahead at a pace that feels manageable.
Dr. Akther earned a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the Ras Al Khaimah College of Dental Sciences in 2017 and is licensed by the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention as a general dentist. During her internship at the RAK College of Dental Sciences she examined teeth and gums with X-rays and other diagnostic tools, filled cavities, carried out root canal treatment and simple and complex extractions, replaced missing teeth with fixed and removable prostheses, treated children, and performed periodontal (gum) maintenance. She also took part in dental public health programmes, and her student research project studied the oral health knowledge and habits of children visiting the college, including teaching children and parents good oral hygiene.
Later experience includes coordinating insurance in the dental department of Emirates European Hospital in Sharjah, and volunteer training at Ajman University, where she assisted general dentists in the master's pediatric and restorative dentistry clinics.
She speaks English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali.
