Re: new jersey dental board- group of protectionist greedy dentists =dental licensure SCAM

Anyone give me a single reason why a French DDS with US perio training, licensed in Michigan, shouldn't be allowed to practice periodontics ANYWHERE IN AMERICA.

Or maybe Tennessee wants him for the welfare clinincs!

Tennessee law gives the dental board discretion to issue a limited license for the practice of dentistry in American

Dental Association accredited institutions or dental education programs or in federally-designated health professional

shortage areas, to a graduate of an non-accredited general dentistry program who successfully completed an

accredited advanced education (ADA-recognized specialty) program accredited by the ADA CDA.


Sue them Dr. David Sarment!!!

APPENDIX A: STATE LICENSURE INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL DENTISTS

This chart reflects the educational requirements that applicants for state dental licensure must meet. Due

to numerous variations in licensure requirements from state-to-state, interested persons should contact

the individual state dental boards for the most accurate information about requirements for graduates of

foreign dental schools.

Nearly all states generally require that graduates of non-accredited dental education programs obtain a DDS or

DMD degree from dental education program accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental

Accreditation ( ADA CDA), Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC), or state dental board-approved

education program. California and Minnesota dental boards have the authority to allow dentists who have

graduated from non-accredited programs to practice in their states (see Other State Requirements below). The

states with asterisks (*) may require something other than completion of a four-year dental program in order to

obtain the degree; for example, a two-year supplemental program. Some states, as noted below, have adopted

state specific variations in their laws.

A few dental schools (see "Other Educational Opportunities," pg 20) offer programs that grant certificates of

completion rather than a dental degree for non-accredited program graduates who wish to become licensed in the

United States. The ADA CDA is in the process of establishing a process to accredit the programs offered by these

universities.

Under a reciprocal agreement between the ADA CDC and the CDAC, each Commission recognizes the

accreditation of educational programs accredited by the other agency. As a result, applicants who have graduated

from Canadian predoctoral dental education programs accredited by the CDAC may be eligible to meet the

licensure requirements of a particular U.S. licensing jurisdiction without having to complete any additional

educational requirements. Once again, however, the applicant should understand that the final decision on eligibility

is determined by each state. For example, Georgia does not recognize the reciprocal agreement between the ADA

CDA and the CDAC.

may apply directly for a dental license. Currently, the University De LaSalle in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, has been

approved by the Board.

Connecticut - In lieu of the practical examination, an applicant for licensure may submit evidence of having

successfully completed not less than one year of graduate dental training as a resident dentist in a program accredited

by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, provided at the end of such year of graduate dental training, the

supervising dentist provides documentation satisfactory to the Department of Public Health attesting to the resident

dentist's competency in all areas tested on the practical examination.

Delaware -applicants for licensure must complete a general practice residency and a clinical licensing examination for

initial licensure.

Kansas-although graduation from an accredited school is required, the regulations also provide for licensure of a

graduate of a non-approved school if a "two-year refresher" course is completed. To our knowledge, the Kansas board

has not approved any of these courses. The board will decide requests for licensure and two-year program approval

on a case-by-case basis.

Kentucky - at the time of this printing, Kentucky had legislation pending that could affect licensure for international

dentists. Please contact the Kentucky Board of Dentistry for further information (See Appendix D for contact

information).

Louisiana - the board will license foreign dentists by credentials after they have been licensed and practicing in

another state for some period of time.

Minnesota - the dental board has authority to allow foreign-trained dentists to take the clinical licensure examination if

the Board determines the training is equivalent to that provided by an ADA CDA or CDAC accredited dental education

program.

Missouri - foreign-trained dentists must complete additional training in an ADA CDA accredited program that results

in a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree.

STATES THAT WILL ACCEPT COMPLETION OF AN ACCREDITED ADA-RECOGNIZED ADVANCED

EDUCATION PROGRAM IN LIEU OF A PREDOCTORAL PROGRAM:

Georgia will allow graduates of non-accredited dental programs, who have completed a two-year advanced education

program in general dentistry or a dental specialty and have obtained certification by the program's dean that the

candidate has achieved the level of competency expected of a graduate receiving a DDS or DMD degree, to obtain a

teacher's license. This is a restricted license.

Illinois - applicants must complete a minimum of two academic years of general dental clinical training at a dental

college or school in the U.S. or Canada. An accredited advanced education program of no less than two years may be

substituted for the two years of general dental clinical training.

Louisiana will allow dentists who have graduated from a non-accredited dental education program, but completed an

accredited advanced education program in the U.S. or Canada, to be licensed. These individuals are required to limit

their practice in the field in which they obtained the advanced education (specialty) training. If the applicant completed

a general practice residency or advanced education in general dentistry, he/she must practice general dentistry.

Maryland will allow graduates of non-accredited dental schools to obtain a general dental license upon successful

completion of at least a two-year pediatric residency program at a dental school or hospital authorized by any state

and recognized by the Maryland Dental Board.

Mississippi allows general dentistry or specialty residency training at an accredited program to qualify graduates of

non-accredited dental education programs to participate in the annual dental licensure exam.

Oregon allows graduates of non-accredited dental education programs, who have completed an ADA-CDA accredited

specialty program and passed the WREB clinical examination, to qualify to sit for the Oregon specialty exam.

Tennessee law gives the dental board discretion to issue a limited license for the practice of dentistry in American

Dental Association accredited institutions or dental education programs or in federally-designated health professional

shortage areas, to a graduate of an non-accredited general dentistry program who successfully completed an

accredited advanced education (ADA-recognized specialty) program accredited by the ADA CDA.

Texas grants eligibility to take the required clinical examination to graduates of foreign dental schools who have

completed a two-year ADA CDA recognized specialty.

Virginia requires a diploma or certificate from an ADA-accredited predoctoral dental education program, or at least a

12 month post-doctoral advanced general dentistry program or a post doctoral education program in a dental specialty.

Washington provides that graduates of non-accredited dental programs may establish eligibility in theory and practice

upon successful completion of at least two additional predoctoral or postdoctoral academic years in a program

accredited by the ADA CDA.

4. Dr. David Sarment - Application for a dental license. Dr. Sarment obtained a D.D.S. degree in 1994 from University of Paris, France. He indicates that he is board certified in Periodontics and holds a dental license and specialty license in the State of Michigan. The committee recommends that this application be denied because he is a foreign graduate and does not meet the requirements for licensure.

The Board referred this issue ( NJSA 45:6-6) to the regulation committee for review. The Board suggests that the wording referring to foreign dentists should be removed
