Dear Cindy: 
I'm a dentist who was trained and licensed, and is working overseas. Where do I find information about becoming licensed in North America?

Sincerely,

Dentist

Dear Dentist: 
The United States and Canada have separate certification procedures, and dentist licensing is the responsibility of individual states/provinces.

For information, see:

  • The American Dental Association's US Licensure for International Dentists page. You may also want to see the National Dental Board Examinations page and the state Dental Boards/Licensure page.
  • The Canadian Dental Association's General Certification and Licensure (Non-Canadian and Non-US General Practitioner) information and the Directory of Dental Regulatory Authorities & Provincial/Territorial Associations.
