Hello Everyone

What do a licensed dentist in Canada have to do to start practicing dentistry in U.S.A

P.S. (my BDS was not obtained from a Canadian nor American dental school)
 
In general one has to have to graduate from a 2 year DDS/DMD program from an accredited university or residency depending on the state requirement. Having a Canadian license does not give you a right to practice in the USA
 
You must do a 2 year advanced standing DDS program in the states.
If you were a licensed Canadian dentist who went to a Canadian dental school, it would've been different.
