Automatic reciprocity is rare in dentistry. What Idaho accepts from a dentist licensed elsewhere, and the board source to confirm it, are below.
Last verified 2026-07-08. Educational planning reference only; the board controls current reciprocity, endorsement, credentialing, portability, exam exceptions, forms, fees, and final approvals.
License by credentials (54-916B) also requires CODA graduation.
Written: iNBDE (or NBDHE for hygiene) per IDAPA 24.31.01.100.02. Clinical: board-approved clinical exam (ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, CRDTS+SRTA); post-04/01/2022 exams must include operative, periodontal, simulated endodontic and prosthodontic sections plus a written competency exam. Plus Idaho jurisprudence exam (75%+). Clinical results valid 5 years. WREB retired Dec 31 2022.
Specialty licensure separately requires a CODA-accredited postdoctoral advanced dental education program of 2+ full-time academic years AFTER a CODA DDS/DMD — this is not a substitute for the CODA dental degree for general licensure. License by credentials (54-916B) also requires CODA graduation.
