Exam and pathway context
Dental National Board Examination (NBDE/iNBDE) plus a Board-accepted clinical examination (historically WREB/CRDT/SRTA/ADEX-NERB) and the New Mexico jurisprudence exam. WREB was retired Dec 31, 2022 — confirm currently accepted clinical exams (e.g., CDCA-WREB/ADEX, CITA) with the Board.
Source notes
Statute plainly ties general licensure to a CODA-accredited dental degree, so a foreign grad must complete a CODA advanced-standing DDS/DMD. The Board FAQ does not spell out a residency-only pathway. CODA advanced-education pathway in NM is explicitly for SPECIALTY licensure, not to substitute for the dental degree. Confirm exam specifics with the Board.
