Reciprocity and endorsement
Automatic reciprocity is rare in dentistry; South Carolina's board decides how a dentist licensed elsewhere qualifies. The board source is 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.
Dentovio did not isolate a licensure-by-endorsement, reciprocity, credentialing, or portability signal in this sourced state record. Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board.
National Board (JCNDE) — NBDE Parts I & II or the iNBDE; plus a regional clinical exam. SC accepts ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, CRDTS+SRTA. (WREB was retired Dec 31, 2022.) SC jurisprudence exam also required.
Non-CODA foreign graduates cannot license on the foreign degree alone and cannot use a GPR/AEGD residency; they must complete a CODA-accredited advanced-standing DDS/DMD program to meet the education requirement. Verify current specifics with the Board.
