You guys are absolutely correctn regarding NY. Furthermore, I found something on the ADA website regarding states that accept various licensure exams. It is from 2006, so some changes may have occured.

Examination requirements
List shows which tests each state recognizes

As indicated in the Sept. 18 ADA News, many state boards have recently made changes in clinical licensure examination requirements based on alternatives that are currently available.
It can be challenging to obtain current information from state boards, but based on inquiries made between Sept. 14-26, the following are clinical requirements for initial licensure.
Note that states have rules for timing of the exams and scoring and additional requirements for licensure, and that this information is subject to change. This list is not a final authority on dental licensure requirements.
If you're planning to take a licensure exam in order to practice dentistry, the ADA Department of State Government Affairs recommends you contact the state dental board and obtain a list of all licensure requirements in writing.
