Hello everyone, I have a year of dental school in Sweden left before I become a dentist, and my american girlfriend and I planned to get married and live in USA then.

The problem is that it seems to be a long process before I can practice dentistry there.

First score high on a TOEFL exam then pass NBDE part 1 after that enter a 2 year foreign trained dentist program (which is very hard to get attended to and costs much).

I want to know if there are any foreign trained dentists here on the forum that wants to share how they made it, or if you have another education but had to go through something similar. Any tips is helpful.

Out of curiosity I wonder what people moving to USA work with, are employers interested?
