State licensure requirements
For dentist license requirements in New Hampshire, 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 CODA DDS/DMD only. NH requires graduation from a CODA-recognized DMD/DDS program. Per NH rules (Den 301/302), an applicant educated outside the U.S. Exam signal: iNBDE (National Board), plus the ADEX clinical examination (or another regional/state clinical exam acceptable to the Board taken within the last 3 years); the ADEX written portion is also required. WREB retired Dec 31 2022. Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with New Hampshire Board of Dental Examiners (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification, OPLC).

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. NH requires graduation from a CODA-recognized DMD/DDS program. Per NH rules (Den 301/302), an applicant educated outside the U.S. whose original program was NOT ADA/CODA-approved must graduate from a CODA-accredited general dentistry program of at least 2 years' duration (i.e., an advanced-standing DDS/DMD from a U.S./Canadian CODA program). A CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone does not satisfy the degree requirement.
iNBDE (National Board), plus the ADEX clinical examination (or another regional/state clinical exam acceptable to the Board taken within the last 3 years); the ADEX written portion is also required. WREB retired Dec 31 2022.
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.
No residency-only substitute for the required dental degree was isolated in this sourced state record.
NH is the clearest of the five in explicitly addressing foreign non-ADA-approved grads: they must complete a 2+ year CODA general-dentistry (advanced-standing) DDS/DMD. Rule cites are Den 301.02 / Den 302.04 per ADA/board summaries; verify exact current rule numbers on the OPLC rules page.
