depends where you live.
In some states you have to go to shool for 2-3 years and it is very expensive....
In California you have to take only one exam, but it is very hard. Same in Texas....
With Part I you should be OK for admission...

I would like to know what are the options a person has after one gets through the Part 1 exam in California. My BDS degree is from India.

You have to take a total of 4 exams in california including part 1 - the other exams are the part 2, then the bench test and finally the licensure exam. My wife took these and she got her license about a year ago. Note that the deadline for foreign trained dentists to pass the bench and licensure is fast approaching - in other words, the CDA requires that a foreign-trained dentist MUST pass bench and part 4 by a certain date (not sure if it\'s this year or 2002 - pls check with CDA) - otherwise, you have to go to dental school after the deadline has passed.

First decide what you want to do,DDS, MS or just private practice?.
Each one has its own advantages and disadv. As aforiegn trained dentist if you clear part1 and 2 NDB exam you need to apply for clinical exam to obtain the license. Currently California,Virginia(need 5year experience) Illinois,Ohio are offering license to foriegn trained dentist.You can find info on state dental board in www.ada.org. Call each board to send you application and info for license. Once you read the brochure you will understand. Clinical exam given by state board is difficult one, In california UCLA gives two week training for clinical exam. Texas exam is difficult costs$10000(as heard from friend). Ohio accepts texas exam. Goodluck

When is the last licensure exam be given to foreign dentist at US?
Hi! I would like to know when will be the last year must a foreign dentist can only take licensure exam. And what are the requirements? I am a wife of an American citizen, but I\'m still here in my own country waiting for the petition. I dont really know if I could be able to meet the deadline. Coz some says that the deadline will be on 2003 at California.
