# California dental license reciprocity

Answer: For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in California, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: Dentovio did not isolate a licensure-by-endorsement, reciprocity, credentialing, or portability signal in this sourced state record. Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board. Related pathway and exam context: Written: iNBDE (replaced NBDE Parts I & II). Pathways after obtaining a qualifying degree: (1) Licensure by ADEX — pass the ADEX dental examination (clinical + written components); or (2) Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with Dental Board of California.
