Can a 3rd-year Pakistani dental student appear for the NBDE part 1? If not when is the right time to apply?
I think so, at least it used to be that way. Why not contact or go to the Home - American Dental Association website and find out for sure. You can take the National Boards but you had better check what your options are with a dental degree from Pakistan, in the USA. Not very many options sad to say
What equivalency exam would a foreign dentist need to pass in order practice in the United States?
I can tell you what would be necessary if you are a registered dental practitioner from India. You will have to first appear for GRE ( and probably TOEFL too), score above 300 out of 340 in GRE is necessary to get into a good dental school. Following this you will have to prepare and appear for NBDE part 1 exam. It is theory based and you will have to appear for it in US itself. Once you clear that, then you will appear for NBDE part 2 exam which is practical based which will aslo be conducted in US. Once you clear this exam too, you may apply to dental schools and study DDS. If you have a BDS degree, DDS will take you three years to complete. However, the cost is pretty high ( 1-2 lakh $), and takes lot of time and effort. Hope this helps!
