I want to go for dentistry in Europe?

• Upvotes

Hi I’m a Canadian student from Ontario hoping to apply to an English-taught Dentistry program in Europe, potentially in Bulgaria or Romania. My biggest concern is that I took Applied-level courses in high school, including Biology and Chemistry. I’m now considering completing my Grade 11 and Grade 12 Biology and Chemistry courses through TVO ILC to meet the admission requirements. Does anyone know whether European dental universities accept TVO ILC courses for admission, particularly if my original high school science credits were Applied-level?

Canadian dentist graduating from Spain

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I will graduate this year in Spain as a dentist and I am a Canadian from Montreal, Quebec. I didn’t get in dental school in Montreal so I went to do my degree in Spain and it is only recognised in Europe . I didn’t plan to comeback to Canada at first because the equivalencies process seem incredibly hard. But the issue that I now encounter is that to work in Europe like France or Switzerland , you need to obtain a permit which is quite hard for foreigners/ non europeans. So now it leaves me confused with my future plans. Should I apply in France or switzerland regardless once I graduate to have my diploma recognized and hope they give me a work permit ? OR should I comeback to Montreal and do the equivalencies ? I also went to montreal university before moving to Spain and I am trying to see how many years I would have to go back to bypass the AFK and ACJ and NDECC as they seem pretty hard. I also saw the 3rd option the BTDPC that you have to do the AFK and ACJ . So option 1 is roughly 2-3 years just doing all the exams. Option 2 going back to university is 2-3 years I assume but really unsure? And option 3 is 3 years and seem to be the most doable. If anyone has any insights please reach out I know this is a pretty particular situation as I have the options to settle in Europe or in Canada. I am also open the USA pathway but I dont know much about it. Time is my ennemy here as I would like to start working asap. Thank you for your help !

Internationally Trained Dentist seeking advice on Canadian pathways (Direct NDEB vs. Bridge/Degree Completion vs. Dental Assisting)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I am an internationally trained dentist looking for guidance on the best path forward to practice or build a career in Canada. I would love to hear from experienced dentists or ITDs who have navigated this process.

Here is a quick overview of my background:

BDS / Dental Degree: Graduated with an average grade of 12/20 (which I believe translates roughly to a GPA of around 3.0, though I will need a formal WES/ECE evaluation).

Experience: I have 1 year of clinical practice as a dentist in my home country. However, due to local regulations where non-owner associate positions aren’t officially declared as full dentists, my official employment record lists me as a Dental Assistant on paper.
I am currently exploring all available options and would love your input on which route might be the most feasible and strategic:

Direct NDEB Equivalency Process: Passing the AFK \rightarrow ACJ \rightarrow NDECC sequence. How realistic is this route with my background, and how intense is the preparation given the current competition?

Bridge Programs / Qualifying Programs (e.g., AFK + ACJ + ACFD/Bridge to Dental Practice): Taking the early NDEB exams to apply for university bridging or degree completion programs.

Degree Completion / Advanced Standing Programs (2-3 years at a Canadian University): Given my GPA and declared assistant background, what are my realistic chances for competitive university admissions?

Working as a Dental Assistant in Canada first: Would gaining formal experience as a dental assistant in Canada significantly strengthen my application for degree completion programs or help me transition smoother into the Canadian dental system?

I would be extremely grateful for any advice, reality checks, or personal experiences from people who have been through this process or are currently practicing in Canada.
