5

Jurisdictions where the public source record is unclear or source-conflicted, so the board should confirm the current path.

Direct answer

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreign-trained dentist use a residency instead of repeating dental school?: In some states, a CODA-accredited residency, GPR, AEGD, specialty, or advanced-education pathway may satisfy part of the licensure route. Many states still require a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing program. Dentovio marks each state as residency pathway found, no residency-only route found, or verify.
Which states show a residency pathway for foreign-trained dentists?: Use Dentovio's foreign-trained dentist residency pathway hub to compare U.S. jurisdictions that signal a CODA residency, GPR, AEGD, specialty, or advanced-education route for internationally trained dentists. States currently marked as accepting a residency pathway in this dataset: Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia. States marked unclear or source-conflicted: Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, South Dakota. Confirm the current rule directly with the state dental board before choosing a program or applying.
Does this replace state board guidance?: No. This is an independent educational reference. Confirm current forms, education rules, program eligibility, exam acceptance, fees, and final licensing decisions directly with the relevant state dental board.
