A graduate of a dental college in another country may not be disqualified from examination solely because of the applicant's foreign training. International Dentist Programs (IDP) are available which grant a DDS or DMD degree and are acceptable. Programs which grant a certificate of completion do not satisfy the licensure eligibility requirements of the NDSBDE. Two-year programs offering certificates will not be accepted. A dental applicant who has received a DDS degree or a DMD degree from a dental school accredited by the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation is eligible for licensure. The application and application fee must be received by the Board 30 days prior to the next meeting of the Board. All other licensure requirements must be fulfilled.
(See requirements for licensure on
Licensure page).
