The ability of Canadian dentists to practice in the United States is a complex issue that involves several factors. Firstly, dentists in Canada must complete a rigorous dental program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC). This program includes both academic and clinical training, ensuring that graduates have the necessary skills and knowledge to practice dentistry safely and effectively.
Once a dentist has graduated from an accredited program, they must pass the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB) exam. This exam is designed to assess a dentist's knowledge and skills in all aspects of dentistry. Once a dentist has passed the NDEB exam, they are eligible to apply for a license to practice dentistry in Canada.
