Participating States

The state board of dentistry is the agency to which a candidate must individually apply for licensure in a jurisdiction. Candidates must inform themselves of the requirements of the states in which they wish to be licensed and complete an application with the individual jurisdiction prior to undertaking any activity which may be construed as the practice of dentistry. As such, questions regarding licensure or state requirements should be addressed to the appropriate state board of dentistry.
