I would like to know what the laws are and where I can find them about being a dentist on a ship in international waters?

I'm interested in knowing which country's dental licenses are valid on ships of various national registries. For example, can a dentist with a dental license from Mexico practice dentistry onboard a ship registered in Panama would be an example of what I am trying to find out about.

Thank you very much if you can help!!!

as far as i know , dentists are not required on commercial ships...no company would like to incur extra costs.So i think unless one is in navy finding employment on-board as a dentist is impossible as job doesn't exist in the first place.I thought about it once , did some research n then quit the idea because there was nothing to pursue actually.Things might have changed now but i still doubt it.
Good luck!
