Canadian DDS Valid in the USA? and Schooling question?

Hey I was wondering how it would work if I were to get a DDS degree from Canada and moved at some point during my life to USA? Would I have to take an exam or redo everything?


Another quick question regarding schooling, I asked earlier. During the 4 years studying dentistry, do you still keep a summer off? Any courses during the summer? I was told you do clinical work during the summer but how does that work for first year considering you probably aren't qualified to work on a patient?

To go either work or do a speciality in USA, you will need to do an exam calles the "american board" or "NBDE". There is 3 parts. Part 1 is basic sciences; you can do this part after your first 1-2 years of dentistry. There is part 2, which is everything you learned in dentistry. You do this part when youfinished dentistry. And Part three whis is an exam per state... So when you chose where you want to go you take their part 3 if they ask one. Students in USA have to take this exam as well.





There is a board exam for practicing in canada but this is only 1 part.





You may have courses/clinical work to do during the sumer during the 3rd or 4th year... It does depend on each program. But dont think about that now... Anyway summer are always relax even if there is something required to do..
