State licensure requirements
Florida dental license requirements
For dentist license requirements in Florida, Dentovio's sourced licensure record highlights education/pathway language, exam signals, and any residency, endorsement, reciprocity, or credentialing notes it could isolate. Education/pathway signal: Advanced-standing / supplemental CODA program required — NOT a residency pathway. Under s. 466.006, Fla. Stat., a graduate of a non-CODA (foreign) Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination (Parts I and II / iNBDE), the ADEX Dental Licensing Examination (clinical; if taken outside Florida must be on/after Oct 2, 2011), and the Florida Laws and Rules Examination. WREB retired Dec 31, 2022. Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Florida Board of Dentistry (Florida Department of Health).

Education and pathway
Advanced-standing / supplemental CODA program required — NOT a residency pathway. Under s. 466.006, Fla. Stat., a graduate of a non-CODA (foreign) dental school must complete at least 2 consecutive academic years of full-time study in a CODA-accredited supplemental general dentistry program that provides didactic and clinical education at the DDS/DMD level. The statute expressly excludes advanced education programs in a dental specialty, and experience gained under a teaching/residency permit does NOT count toward this requirement — so a GPR/AEGD or specialty residency is NOT an accepted substitute.
Exam signal
National Board Dental Examination (Parts I and II / iNBDE), the ADEX Dental Licensing Examination (clinical; if taken outside Florida must be on/after Oct 2, 2011), and the Florida Laws and Rules Examination. WREB retired Dec 31, 2022.
Endorsement or reciprocity
Florida has no reciprocity/endorsement/licensure-by-credentials.
Residency signal
No residency-only substitute for the required dental degree was isolated in this sourced state record.
