foreign dentist license without repeating dental school

Sourced answer

Some U.S. jurisdictions may let a foreign-trained dentist avoid repeating a full DDS/DMD, but the route is narrow and state-specific. Dentovio currently marks 16 jurisdictions with a sourced possible no-repeat pathway signal: Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia. 30 jurisdictions point primarily toward a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing route, and 5 are marked verify. Confirm the current rule directly with the state dental board and program before relying on a residency, GPR, AEGD, specialty, equivalency, faculty, or limited-license route.
