SAAR MEDICAL CENTER Saar team with the late Shaikh bin hassan Al Khalifa

Saar Medical And Dental Center was opened in October 2000 as an extension of the services of the American Mission Hospital. Its location in Saar, in a residential area, makes it very convenient for a large section of the population who would otherwise have to travel to the main hospital in Manama.

The clinic is open from 8am to 10pm from Saturday to Thursday, and from 8am to 4pm on Friday and on most public holidays.


The aim of the medical clinic is to provide general medical services in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. There is a comfortable waiting room with a children's play area. A
general practitioner is on duty throughout the day, and a pediatrician does morning and afternoon sessions most days. A nutritionist/dietitian is available by appointment.


Saar receptionRoutine vaccinations are available, with these exceptions:
Meningococcal vaccination is done only on certain days, so an appointment should be booked in advance.
However, BCG vaccination is only done at the main hospital.

 

We provide a full range of laboratory services using our laboratory in Manama. For most tests blood (or other specimens) can be taken in the clinic and sent to the lab by our courier service.


X-ray and ultrasound facilities are not available on site but can be arranged at the main hospital.

 

Saar Medical Center can deal with minor injuries, e.g. small cuts which require suturing, but major trauma cases, seriously ill or unconscious patients and injuries requiring X-ray should be taken to the main hospital or a facility with an A&E Department.

Fissure Sealant program

The department Dental Services at the American Mission Hospital now offers dental fissure sealant preventive program. This program is directed to children, ages 7-9 years.

 

What is fissure sealant?

Fissure sealant is a protective plastic cover that seals the fissures in the biting surfaces of primary and permanent molars (back teeth). It does not involve any drilling inside the tooth. A gel is painted on the tooth surface. I is set (becomes hard and sticks to the tooth) by a special light-curing device.

What teeth should be covered?

Mainly the first primary and permanent molars. These teeth are the most prone to cavities.

 

Why should 7-9 year old children have fissure sealants?

After a dental screening, you will need to arrange transport to American Mission Hospital,
Where 10-20 children can be taken everyday accompanied by a teacher. The dental hygienist will spend 10-20 minutes with each child to complete the application of fissure sealants, depending on the number of teeth needing to be covered, After finishing, the students can be taken back to school / club.

 

How much do fissure sealants cost?

Fees are BD 4.000 for each tooth. For example, the total fee for four teeth would be BD 16.000. Generally, no more than four would be sealed for any given child.

 

What is the exam and treatment process?

Teeth are sealed at AMH Dental Services after being examined in your school/ club by a dental hygienist. If some teeth do not require current sealant coverage the child will be given a report indicating a follow up evaluation date. A brief report regarding sealant recommendations will also be provided for each student for parental review. A complete and more through diagnostic exam appointment can be scheduled as the dental hygienist recommends. This appointment can naturally be scheduled with your treating family dentist as well. Also, participating students will receive a 15% discount on exams and all recommended restorative dental services at AMH.

 

Finally if your school is interested in this program please respond via fax or phone.. Please call if you have any further questions. We are certain this program will contribute to improving your childs dental health.
