residency and adex exam

[Dentist930]

Hi,
1) I am planning to apply for residency programs. Please I want to know if I am going to have an Orofacial pain residency, would I be able to work as a general practitioner after that or only my specialty?
2) do all the states require a clinical examination(adex) after 1 or 2 years of the GPR OR the AEGD residency program to have a DENTAL license or you can have your license without the clinical exams?
3) having your license through a residency program give you a limited license for certain states. Can you transfer to other states after 5 years?
4) did anyone hear about having a dental license from texas after finishing dental public health residency for international dentists?

1) Somebody told be that some places if you're advertising yourself as a "specialist" you can't do general dentist. I don't know how much of that is true.
2) I think only NY doesn't require CDCA/ADEX
3) I think some states will allow you to get a license after you've been licensed for a couple of years in another state.
4) In theory you should be able to get a license because is a specialty and texas allows you to study 2 years of specialty and get licensed. This is one of the reasons Florida doesn't accept specialties.

1) But I will be registered as a general practitioner. I mean my license will allow me to work as a general practitioner
2) I HEARD That some states rather than NY need non-clinical examinations. but the majority after your GPR or AEGD you need to do your adex exam

4) so I can do the Adex exam and become a dentist in TEXAS?1) I will be registered as a general practitioner. This means that my license will allow me to work as a general practitioner. Not all states accept orofacial pain or dental public health as specialties, right?
Hence. you cannot apply for the license, Right?

1) Just check with the state you plan on getting licensed how they go about that. Like I said, some places if you advertise you're a specialist I think you can't do general.
2) that's correct
3) Florida and a few other states doesn't accept any specialties, they accept AEGD/GPR or a DMD/DDS. Texas in the other hand accepts specialties and DMD/DDS. Texas doesn't accept AEGD and GPR.

You just gotta check with the state you're thinking about getting licensed. The Avance placement rout is the best way because you're not limited, but I believe is the hardest path.
