foreign trained dentist license California

California requires a Board- or CODA-approved DDS/DMD path before general dentist licensure; a CODA residency can be a clinical-exam alternative after a qualifying degree, but it does not let a raw non-CODA foreign dental degree bypass the approved-degree requirement.
