She is working on getting her licenses in then US. Her previous license was from Brazil. For this reason I feel that I am currently SOL. There are 4 series of tests. Itr begins with 2 written parts administered by the ADA(American Dental Association) and the CADA(California Dental Association) From there you progress to a manakin dental examination. For this you are goig to need to practice which requires roughly 2 to 3K in equipment and you are going to need pracvtice courses another 3 to 5K. These courses are given up in the LA area so commuting back and forth is a waste of time so you are going to speand a few nights up there. Once this is passed you move on the patient practical. Once again you will need to practice 3 to 4K for review course and then you need to set aside another 2 to 3k becasue you have to rent out a dental office to screen patients for the procedures required by the dental board. Additionally once patients areidentified you need to provide transportation, lodging, and compensation for them assisting you. Additionally you need to have cash oon hand i the event that a dentist at the Practical exam loses his patient and tries to bribe your patient. That is the process of getting your licenses. I am certain that there are some fairly good accountant that might be able to justify the expenses in a way that I am unfamiliar wiht but as I see it you are somewhat SOL until you have your licesnes. Correct me if I am wrong.
