Re: Courses in USA after BDS in India

The United States one of the most favorite destinations for Indian dental students for higher studies. Indian graduates cannot get permission to practice in US directly as Indian dental degrees are not recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA).

Indian dental degrees are recognised in the USA as degrees from non-accredited dental schools and Indian dental graduates have to sit for NBDE exams.

In order to enter into US dental practice, Indian graduates either have to join Doctor of Dental Science (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DDM), which are equal degrees of 4 year duration, or two-year International Dentist Programme (IDP), which lead to DDS degree; which are accredited by either CODA or the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC).

Requirements Based on the student’s merit and performance in BDS exams, NBDE Part-I exam and TOFEL, they would be given admission either in first year of DDS/DDM or IDP. Some schools offer admission into 2nd year of DDS/DDM to those students with very high GPA.

In the US, the licensure for dental practice is granted by the individual states, districts and dependencies. The conditions for licensure vary from state to state and such licence is valid only within the respective geographical confines.

The international dental students shall fulfill three requirements to get the licensure in the United States. They are:

Obtainment of DDS, DDM degrees, which are accredited by either CODA or the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC).

Successful completion of the computer-based National Board Dental Examinations (NBDE) Parts I and II exams

and

Successful completion of a clinical exam administered by a state or regional testing agency. In these three qualifications, the dental degrees are granted by different dental schools, which are accredited by the CODA.
