licensure options

Hey subha_savee,
Well the question is which subject you have appied for a MS. If it is a clinical accredited speciality then you have some options of getting licensed without
a DDS program. There are a few options that you have which might help you to get licensed.
Check
http://www.ada.org/prof/prac/licensure/us.asp


I think the forums on studentdoctor.net will be of more help than an immigration portal.

Options are many but you need a good gameplan .
Goodluck.
 
i got my 3 yrs specialty in Pedo... i guess there are only 10 states that accept us without an international student DDS program..... i got licened in florida and have been in practice for the last 2 yrs

Dds/dmd

I do not think with Indian qualification, you can get licence to practice in US at all.

Most of the state looking for completion of US- DDS/DMD (2 or 3 yrs) international program. Only very few states admits with certain speciality for licence with no DDS/DMD but US Speciality Degree (Not foreign degree). CA state was allowing foreign dental graduate to go through ADA Part I & 2, Part 3 (bench exam) and Part 4 to practice only in CA state but that provision is already withdrawn.
For more details for licencing go to www.ada.org
