Licensure for international dentists after 1 year AEGD residency

[BBDENTIST]

Hello, everyone, I am an international dentist who completed BDS. I matched for 1 year AEGD residency program and just wondering what would be the next steps to practice in the USA as a general dentist? When can I give my board exams? Can I practice just after completing AEGD residency program? So far I know I would be able to practice in Virginia and Wisconsin. What are the other states where I can practice? Thank you in advance.

Usually w AEGD or a GPR ur best bet is 2 years.
This is an old post but if u look at the table and diagrams, is pretty accurate to what happens with this type of residencies

Congratulations on the match! You can also apply again for next year to make this a two year clinical residency, making it easier for you to secure license while taking all the board and registration exams in between.

Thank you so much. Actually, you mean to say that I can apply to Aegd again? One more curiosity, can I give my board examination before completing the residency so that I can practice immediately without any gap?

Thank you. Sorry, I am not able to share the program's name for now as I have not received official letter yet.
