Foreign trained dentists who got licensed in the US, how was your experience?

Oh it’s a vast variation in experience. Depends on where you got your training and what area of dentistry you wish to pursue. You should join one of those international dentist groups and you’ll get lot of information. Perspective and scope completely depends on whether you want to be general dentist or a specialist and whether you want to have your own private practice or want to work as associate in an office or want to be in academia or research. Honestly there are too many variables. There are also licensing requirements. Etc etc Plus many of my colleagues had much different experience just because they were ‘international’ students and I was considered ‘domestic’ just because I was a citizen.
