US Dental License for Foreign Trained Dentists

Licensure Requirements

In this country, license requirements are decided and enforced by the individual states, not the federal government, therefore, it's important to understand those requirements and the differences between one state and another when you are thinking about your future home and work location.

Each state has a dental board or a similar agency that oversees the dental licensure process and a dental practice act which is the law that specifies the requirements and regulations, etc.
