# Mississippi dental license requirements

Answer: For dentist license requirements in Mississippi, Dentovio's sourced licensure record highlights education/pathway language, exam signals, and any residency, endorsement, reciprocity, or credentialing notes it could isolate. Education/pathway signal: CODA postdoctoral (2+ year) pathway — a full advanced-standing DDS/DMD repeat is NOT required, but foreign grads CANNOT use licensure-by-credentials (that is CODA-graduates only). Per Miss. Code Ann. §73-9-23(3), a foreign (non-ADA/CODA) Exam signal: NBDE Parts I & II (or successor — i.e., iNBDE) of the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (waived only for pre-1960 graduates). Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Mississippi State Board of Dental Examiners.
