License Description
Are graduate dental students licensed when they take their clinical portion of the NERB examination? No. M.G.L. c.112, 45 requires all applicants for dental licensure in the Commonwealth to submit a full, accurate, and complete application for licensure on forms provided by the Board, and to provide proof that they have: graduated with a DDS or DMD degree from a dental college accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation; and successfully passed the national board exams, the written and clinical parts of the Northeast Regional Board Examination (NERB) (or other regional exam accepted by the Board of Registration in Dentistry), and the Massachusetts Ethics and Jurisprudence Exam.
