As far as I know Florida is the only state that allows a foreign trained dentist to sit for the DH state Board, all others require that the person studies DH in the US.
thank you for the useful information!
Glad it was helpful!
1. You can take the exam with out the social security number but You need Social security number to get a license
2. Visa that has work permit
3. I brought all instruments from my home country 🙂
Regarding the visa question
- I am not expert in this but I think you can take the exams with tourist/student visa
- You need visa that legally permit you to work and gives you SSN to apply for a license , without it even you pass all exams you will not have a license that help you find a job
- Most job will not help you with applying the visa , you likely need to have your visa or green card or work permit first by yourself before getting a job
- I have no clue about H1B visa 😅
thank you mam ❤️
mam if we dont have work permit and SSN is there any way ?
are there any agency who can sponsor and can give SSN and later green card ? how can we contact them ?
@@achiever3355 I don’t think so , but you can try apply for green card lottery from your country
This video was super helpful❤thankyou ao much ❤️❤️
Must read! After my RUclips video I have received so many inbox questions, so I made most asked

It contains Q&A from visa, exam, jobs , life and etc please check that out before shooting me messages
Also this easy step simple requirements for the journey to be a dental hygienist in FL that you can also find at
floridasdentistry.gov/licensing/dental-hygienist/
As far as my knowledge can guide you, I’m afraid I cannot give you the right answer regards to any type of visa questions, the chances of employment or sponsorship? How to practice in another state? These would be something you have to do research on your own
The process of all the application and fees can also be found at
floridasdentistry.gov/licensing/dental-hygienist/#tab-process
When I applied on all these on my own, I only used this website and it can be confusing but it was successful.
It should explain how to apply, process, fee, and if you have some other questions that are not already on that page I highly recommend you to call them to get the precise answer.
I know it’s hard to move the country and this might get you overwhelmed. However, a dental hygienist is a good profession, and a great pathway if you do want to get back on track to be a dentist again
You can do this!!!

Hello, Congratulations on your achievement in the USA.
I am a Brazilian dentist and I passed INBDE.
What I understood, to take the clinical test and Florida state law,
I have to request authorization from the state of Florida Health.
Could you tell me where I can contact you to receive authorization to take tests?
Thaks😀
Very informative and helpful!Would you happen to know if Florida requires you to have postgraduate experience as well for a foreign dentist to apply for licensure? (Fresh grad here :
I don’t think so 😀
First all of thank u for this video :)
How many months does it take from the first exam until you get the license?
If i take my first exam in July , can ı get my license in October?
@@enes26 I have no right answer for this. I think it depends on each exam schedule date and you likely will have to definitely pass everything on a first try and all exam dates has to be so close to each other. Good luck though! 🤞
Thanku soo much❤
which US visa should I get to move to the USA from India as a foreign train dentist ?
Hi Penny, thanks for sharing your insights in this video. Can you share what study resources to use specifically for the CSCE OSCE?
All resources for your questions should be in this album facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.285743224024976&type=3
thank you so much for this informative video 🙏🏻🌹🤍
Happy to help 🥰
which US visa is useful to appear for ADEX exam if you are in another country presently?
Hi sweetheart. Thanks for taking the time to guide everybody here. I have a question. Can I take the ADEX and the rest of exams in a different state? Or I have to head down to Florida for that matter?
🤗
I believe you can but to be sure call the board to confirm.
Thank you for the clear and informative content. It was very helpful!
I recently got my dental hygiene license in FL. Do you know If a dental radiographer certificate or license is mandatory to be able to take X-rays in FL as a RDH?
Thank you again for your assistance!
I dont have one and been working over 2 years now, you should be good!
@@pennysmore7273 That is just what I wanted to read ☺️. Thanks!
The UF in Gainesville, should we bring our own instruments or do they provide them to take the ADEX?
Hi penny, I am dentist in india, here with F1 visa as student, after clearing the exam how can i get work permit in Florida is it possible?? Can you help me??
@@vankayalapatitanuja1058 Unfortunately I do not know anything about how to get anybody’s work permit with any type of visa ( I gain my work permit and greencard through marriage ) . I wish you the best of luck though
Hi Penny… thank you so much for a detailed video. I just want to know after getting hygienist license and practicing in Florida, Can we move to other states and practice?If it so, for how long we need to practice in Florida?
The State of Florida does not have reciprocity with any state and does not issue licenses by endorsement or credentials. … I believe you should do research on each state or the state you plan to move to after of what need to be done …
hello. i am currently studying nursing in usa. but i was dental hygienist in my country Nepal. here i want to give license exam of dental hygiene . so can you tell me about process ?
I have given INBDE 6 months back how can I go about getting licensed as a hygienist.
I believe if you pass INBDE you can use that instead of NBDHE but other exams I mentioned are still needed
Was it particularly challenging to find a Job without a US degree? I am currently exploring this option and unsure how difficult it will become. Majority of jobs mentioned having an associate's or bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from an accredited university.
Not at all u can find job in a day
Thank you for intresting video
I'm DDS graduated in Poland in 2001. I have diploma in Periodontics and I live and work in the UK for over 12 years. Do I need to take ILETs or other english language exam?
So far I do not think so unless you want to pursue your career as a DDS here, you might need to take TOEFl to apply for school.
@@pennysmore7273 nope.. not in my age really. I would be happy with PMPR but I will miss graftings, crown lengthening etc. I don't mind doing hygienist work.
Hello Penny, thank you for the video. How did you obtain the visa to work in Florida after completing the exam?
Most questions are answers in this album facebook.com/share/hPz2g3KFHEsR2aVy/?
Thank you very much for this video! But for the foreign dentists who don't live in America: can they find sponsorship to work as hygienist? I mean can the we find workplace which supports a foreigner with working visa as a hygienist?😌

Hello! Do you know if it any restrictions in FL, if getting licence there and move to another state right after to forward this florida licence and get the hygiene license from another state? Thank you
From what I read, you have to go become licensed for that specific state of your choice, Florida doesn’t have reciprocity with any state. Each state likely has its own way to become licensed. You should look into more information of those each state though.
Hey thanks for all the info , just a question , can i still go through this process if am on a tourist visa or a student visa , get my hygiene license then apply for jobs? And only after that apply for H1B visa
Regarding the visa question
- I am not expert in this but I think you can take the exams with tourist/student visa
- You need visa that legally permit you to work and gives you SSN to apply for a license , without it even you pass all exams you will not have a license that help you find a job
- Most job will not help you with applying the visa , you likely need to have your visa or green card or work permit first by yourself before getting a job
- I have no clue about H1B visa 😅
what company did you use to to evaluate your Foreign Education Credits and tell the US equivalent? Our dental certification is from Cuba.
I believe is ECE but I couldn’t remember the process at all 😅
Hi I loved your video, question if I get my license as dental hygienist in Florida Can I move to Arizona and make valid my dental hygienist license and works as???
The State of Florida does not have reciprocity with any state and does not issue licenses by endorsement or credentials. … I believe you should do research on each state or the state you plan to move to after of what need to be done …
Hi, I already did the ADEX Dental Licensing Examination but it was the dentist one, would that be an issue?
I have no idea , I suggest you call Florida Dental Hygienist Department
I'm confused. If most work places do not sponsor visas and you need a visa to be licensed, can you apply for a work visa without a sponsor? How did you do it?

Hello Penny! How long did you study for to pass the written exam?
@@sandy24157 for NBDHE couple months, for the rest really short period time.
Can I take the Adex in another states rather that Florida before moving to Florida
Yes you can
What salary range for Dental hygienists are you seeing in Florida currently? Thank you!
From my experience I would say around 35- 55 / hour. Some offices are production base so you get even more after.
I don’t have to go to hygiene school, just pass national board exam?
Yes for Florida only! And all the exams needed as explained in the video
Can this also be the case for born USA citizens? Can we just skip school , pass the test and become hygiene in Florida? Thank you!
hi penny, how long did you study for the laws and rules exam? do you think two weeks is enough time?
Definitely , a week is enough 🥰
@@pennysmore7273 that's great! i just bought the AndyRDH course for the exam. A week does seem feasible! Thanks so much for your reply. :)
@@clynemarvel8282 hello, I am planning to take dental hygiene exam so please let me know from where I can buy book or course which you mentioned in comments? I already cleared NBDE exam so need to clear others . Thanks
Do you think this book is enough?
I think it’s totally depends on the individual, these are all I used for the exam
facebook.com/share/3udGotS9LG3Hq5NW/?
Is it hard to find a job? Is it seasonal bc of snow birds?
You can get a job within a day! Try Gotu app for temp job or even if you apply for DH positions in indeed is literally everywhere!
How long does it takes ?
It’s really up to when you are ready and when the exam test is available for you. I would say if you pass everything in one go. 1 year should cover everything
How did you send your board exam results to Florida board? Email or mail?!
Board exam results should’ve been sent electronically to Fl department already if you had chosen to sent to FL state before taking the exam, if you have question call the Florida department of health.
Hello!
Is there a way to possibly message you for help regarding that subject? I’m also a foreign trained dentist and I do have a work permit.
How u got permit
How could you move to Florida? Did you study in U.S.A?
What is the chances of getting employed? And can I practice in other states after practicing in Florida for some time ???
I’m afraid I have no knowledge to answer about those two answers 🙏🙏
Chances are 100%, currently in FL they are giving 50$/h to hygienists!! I am in the process too
Thank you so much ❤
I have a question, Social security number is compulsory?
we should apply in which visa status?
And about instruments from where we can buy , which brand and what instruments we have to bring to exam hall ?
1. You can take the exam with out the social security number but You need Social security number to get a license
2. Visa that has work permit
3. I brought all instruments from my home country 🙂
Dr. Can i come to Florida and apply for the exam by tourism visa and if i passed can i work legally as a hygienist?
@@user-wh4bs9jl8i No. You need a visa that gives your working permit in order to have SSN (social security number ) to apply for license first. You can take an exam with tourist visa but without SSN you can not proceed to obtain a license. Likely no place will go through sponsorship for you working visa here.
How did you take the working visa and get into exams ?
@pennysmore7273
Hi! Do I need to take dental hygiene board if I already passed the INBDE?
I believe that you won’t be needing NBDHE but ADEX and florida laws and rules exams are still needed. I advice you to check on this website floridasdentistry.gov/licensing/dental-hygienist/
Love your videos! Do you have a business email or should I shoot you a DM
