# foreign-trained dentist license in New York

Answer: In New York, a foreign-trained dentist generally requires a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing pathway; no residency-only route was found in the cited sources. Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD required — a residency does NOT replace dental school. Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II / iNBDE (scores sent directly from the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations) plus a Board-accepted clinical examination (NY accepts ADEX/CDCA). Confirm current requirements directly with New York State Board for Dentistry (NYSED Office of the Professions).
