Is the Canadian DDS valid in the USA? And How is Dentistry Schooling?

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?

Summers depend on the school but I would say that most have the summer off. Any school that is accredited in Canada is also accreditted for the USA and vice versa so any dentist from a Canadian school can work in the USA and vice versa. The only thing you need to do is pass the USA board exams which is not hard, and then pass the regional board exams depending on where you want to go. Even if you go to a school in the US you need to pass the same exams before you can work so there is no differance except the tuition at school in Canada is like half as much if not less than half.
