Become a licensed dentist in the U.S. if you graduate from a foreign dental school..?

[topgun129]

Hey there!

I had a question which I'm convinced many of you around here can answer...

If I go overseas to a foreign dental school (say for example in the Middle East or Europe) what are my chances of being licensed to work here in the U.S. Also what about Canada? Also how would I go ABOUT getting licensing here?

I've noticed many Med students going down to the Caribbean (outside of the U.S.) and then many of them doing clinicals here. I was wondering if that could be applied to dentistry.

Thank you for your help!

I heard you have to go back to dental school for two years.

Unless you do boards and get into a post grad, after upon completion you can be lisenced right?
