Dentovio is not the North Dakota dental board. This is an independent educational directory; confirm final licensure, renewal, discipline, fee, form, and application decisions with the official board.

## Direct answer

North Dakota State Board of Dental Examiners is the official dental board source Dentovio links for North Dakota. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to North Dakota CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 32 hours / 2 years (biennial); hygienists: 16 hours / 2 years (biennial).

## Foreign-trained dentist 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); it expressly notes that completion of an education program, INCLUDING a certificate program, that does not result in a DDS/DMD (or equivalent) is insufficient for licensure. A GPR/AEGD residency alone does not qualify.
