Pls can anyone help me...how to get an X ray certification in NJ...?

i searched in the net and found information that for the license we need to attend 30 hours of lecture+15 hours of lab etc etc and then give an exam!!!!


Also a question to all those FTD's who have been DA's...did u get an X ray license before u assisted?i need a DA experience and having to attend about 50 hours of radiology is just too much!!!!!!!!
Thanks

i request those who have assisted dentists (all...and specially those living in NJ) to share their experience...whther they had got X ray certification prior to the assistance.

Hi Lotus99,

Do you mean X-ray certification or X-ray license in NJ?

If its X-ray license in NJ, then I can explain you up to my knowledge. If you are a foreign trained dentist, then you don't have to take the course for radiology. Instead, you have to pass NJ licensing examination or RHS exam, a component of CDA dental assistant exam. After passing either one of the exams you have to apply for X-ray license in the state of NJ. These informations are in the below web page.

If you have further doubts regarding this, I'll try my best to clarify it.

Thanks,
Roni.

Hi Lotus99,

You can work as unregistered dental assistant in NJ with your foreign dental degree without x-ray license& CDA certification. In that case, you can't do certain tasks in the dental office. But still you can work. Talk to the NJ state board of dentistry regarding this. There is a person named Ms.Kim, who gives all the details for working as an dental assistant. Can you tell me in which part of Nj are you residing now?

Thanks,
Roni.

i stay at oaktree road.

 

[Roni]

I haven't taken this exam yet. I recently collected these informations as I scored only 83 in my NBDE part-1. I thought that I might work as an assistant for a while before retaking Part-1.

So what is your Part-1 & TOEFL score? What are the universities that you are planning to apply? What is your e-mail?

You have to have following papers:

1. • Official course descriptions or course syllabi from the year(s) that you attended the program (Note: if you are a dental assistant, medical assistant, dentist or physician, you only need to submit descriptions or syllabi for radiography related courses);
   • Official clinical education information from the school that includes: (a) the total number of clinical education hours completed; (b) a description of the school’s clinical competency evaluation process, grading requirements, and evaluation forms used by the school to evaluate students for competency; (c) the school’s list of required procedures that must be performed competently in order to graduate; and (d) the actual completed forms that were used in evaluating your competency (Note: if “d” is not available, the school must state the reason and submit other proof of your competency history);

All these papers you have to get from your dental school. If not possible , then you have to get atleast the course syllabus from your dental school and a letter from a private practice certifying your competency in the radio graphic procedures the following are the minimum requirements:

replace the previous 30-hour clinical experience with new requirements that students completing the clinical portion of a state-approved program in your office expose three full mouth series (FMS) using the paralleling technique or the equivalent (defined as 28 periapicals and 8 bitewings) on a minimum of two patients, as well as twelve (12) additional exposures using the bisecting technique.

Students are also required to perform intra-oral digital imaging. This may be accomplished with the four bisecting bitewings taken with digital equipment or some of the paralleling periapical exposures. Panoramic digital exposures do not apply towards the digital imaging requirement. If your office does not have digital equipment to complete these requirements, the student must complete them at another dental office.

Once a student has accomplished the required exposures described above, they must also complete one FMS or the equivalent of 14 periapicals and 4 bitewings with the paralleling technique, plus four (4) periapicals or bitewings with the bisecting technique by analog or digital device, as well as 4 exposures using the bisecting technique, which must then be evaluated by a doctor or approved evaluator (a licensed dental assistant or registered dental hygienist) in your office.

IF YOU Don't have the above mentioned papers, then you have to do the radiology course and then apply for license
Foreign trained dentist cannot do the clinical component in New Jersey without doing the course, so it is better to get the papers from India before coming here.

2. a description of the school's clinical competency evaluation process, grading requirements and evaluation forms used by the school to evaluate students for competency
3. school's list of required procedures that must be performed completely in order to graduate and
4. the actual completed forms that were used in evaluating your competency history.

THANK YOU

Total number of clinical hours should be available from your dental school, but the evaluation can be shown as the question paper pattern as given in the syllabus, the clinical quota can be shown from log books if available. If log books not available, then the quota as mentioned should be done in a private clinic( can't be done in NJ) and then get a certificate or form filled from the private dentist. If it is not possible to get certificate, then no choice but to do the Radiology course in NJ.
