Hello,
First of all I would like to thank all of you for all the information (it is really hard to find information). This forum is really helpful for all the aspiring dentists.
Here is my situation:
I am working as a Software Engineer in Boston, MA. My fiance is a Foreign Trained Dentist and will move to USA in February 2015.
I have some questions and would really appreciate if someone can help me with these:
1. Is it true that one can work as a Dental Hygienist in MA after clearing/getting license from Florida state board exam for Dental Hygienists? If yes, how is the job market for Dental hygienists in MA (Boston area), how much can one expect to make?
2. My fiance's long term plan is DDS, is it a good idea to start working as a dental hygienist (2,3 days a week) and prepare for NBDE side by side (especially if you don't need to go to Dental Hygiene school)?
Thanks again for your time.
