# Missouri dental license requirements

Answer: For dentist license requirements in Missouri, 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: Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. RSMo 332.131 requires the applicant to be 'a graduate of and has a degree in dentistry from an accredited dental school.' A foreign (non-CODA) Exam signal: iNBDE (National Board Dental Examination). Clinical exam via an accepted regional board — Missouri accepts CDCA/ADEX, CITA, and other regional examining boards (WREB retired Dec 31 2022). Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Missouri Dental Board (Division of Professional Registration).
