Foreign-trained dentist pathway

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. SC Code Title 40, Ch. 15 (§40-15-140) requires 'satisfactory evidence of graduation from a dental college... accredited by the Commission [on Dental Accreditation]'. There is no statutory GPR/AEGD residency pathway to initial licensure for a non-CODA degree — a foreign-trained dentist must obtain a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (advanced-standing program). (A narrow discretionary provision lets the Board require additional education 'in an ADA approved dental school or residency' only after 3 failed clinical exam attempts, not as a general foreign-grad pathway.)
