need info regarding practising in west verginia

[sweety19]

hi guys
iam also a dentist from india ..planning to give my NBDE part 1 and 2 by the end of this year...
according to ADA website, only 2or3 states allow international dentists to practice directly after clearing the boards part 1 and 2..the schooling is not required... so west virginia is one of those states..which needs NBDE scores and the licensure exam...
so help me out , how to go about it... is any one planning similarly..how tough is this approach...

Not true.
Previously CA did allow foreign grad to sit for license exam but now they ve stopped.
I guess MN allows but you have to call up the board.

Check with the board as I think they allow u to work after completing 2 year of speciality program .
