# North Dakota dental license requirements

Answer: For dentist license requirements in North Dakota, 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 required — residency/certificate alone is explicitly insufficient. The Board states a dentist educated outside the U.S./Canada must complete a CODA-accredited program and RECEIVE a DDS or DMD degree (or its equivalent); Exam signal: Passing score on an exam administered by the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (NBDE/iNBDE) or the National Dental Examining Board of Canada, plus a Board-approved clinical competency examination within five years of. Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with North Dakota State Board of Dental Examiners.
