Hi,i am the new right here. I have a MD from medical school(not dental school) in foreign country and now doing a postdoc research in US,which helps me get the green card. In the medical school, we already had the dental courses and the credits.
I am here to ask whether it is possible for me apply for the dental license ? do i need to go back to dental school in US to attend some program,which allow me to apply for the license test ? 🙂
thanks any sort of idea & info.

No, you can just open an office and get to work. I suggest a really rural area where they won't check up on you because they will be so happy to have you there.
Alternately, you could, if you want, go to dental school.👍

You do not have enough credentials for 2ys Advanced Dental Program.
I would suggest you to:
1) Evaluate your MD diploma
2) Contact all US Dental Schools - probably, they may set off some of your classes,and you will be able to apply to 4ys DDS/DMD program.
Oh, obviously, you have to take DAT.

@OP: I'm not sure why you think you deserve to be allowed to practice as a dentist?

You:

A. Have never studied in dental school
B. Have never learned anything related to dentistry.
C. ARE NOT A DENTIST!
