Hello again! I passed all the three exams, and you told that we need just to upload our results! But I have now idea how to send or upload my results!
what about university of buffalow dental school?
Hello! I couldn't find the exact tuition for this school. I would recommend to contact their student aid office to find out how much it is exactly :)
Hi what is the validity of ECE evaluation certificate for dentists
Hello! What do you mean?
Very informative video thank you If possible please do make vedio on PASS RESIDENCY SCHOOL of cheap cost of attendance. I am eagerly waiting for your reply.. And yes your vedio too. Thank you
Hello! I'm still considering making this video, maybe in the future. Don't have much experience with it so I would have to do my research
Ok.. I m waiting⏳
when is the best time for applying to FAFSA? one month starting school? a year?
Hi there! It's best to apply as soon as you get accepted by a school
they will financially grape you.
@@DrReginaB what they did to me was canceled my financial aid then charged me full tuition what a scam.

Can international students on visa status can apply ???
Hi there thank you for watching! FAFSA is only for US residents and green card holders. If you are on a student visa you should apply for a private loan. There's a video coming up about this :)
Very informative vedio👏👏 Appreciate for your effort🙏 Can you please🙏 make vedio on PASS Application and Cheapest dental school for PROSTHODONTICS RESIDENCY IN USA. Iam waiting for your vedio. Thank you.
Hi there! Thank you for watching. I will try to make a video about this.
interesting
Thank you! :)
nice job.
Thanks!
they will financially grape you.
NYU?
NYU is quite expensive of what I heard. Living expenses are really high too.
How long took BU to accept you after the interview?
Hi there! A couple weeks.
Can we move our phantom head during the bench prep exam especially for maxillary molars.
Hi thank you for watching! yes, you can move it just like you would move a patient down for maxillary molars. Ergonomics is very important so make sure you still use indirect vision!
Hello, thank you for the proficiency in this video. I want to ask if I can change the date of the exam because all dates for SPTCE are shown in march or June? Can I pay then change the date for the exams?
Hi there thank you for watching! :) Unfortunately, you can't pick any other dates than what is listed. Try out different locations and sometimes there are sooner test dates available in states that are not as 'popular' or busy.
Hello, can you send your template to personal email?
Hi the templates are in the video and you could just screenshot it :)
subscribed. Hi, thank you for your detailed video explanation. Do you have any idea that is it possible on H4 visa or visitor visa to get work authorization after getting license ?
Hi thank you for watching! I'm not exactly sure about the visa options in this case. I'm not an expert in this, unfortunately. You should contact an immigration lawyer, check out reddit and other forums to see what other international dentist have experienced.
I like your vedio so much..i am prosthodontist from india cleared my INBDE ,I m interested for RESIDENCY here. Can you please make vedio on PASS, and cheapest dental school for residency. Thank you🙏
Hi thank you for watching! :) I will consider making such videos.
Thank you doc.. I m waiting for your vedio on PASS RESIDENCY VEDIO AND CHEAPEST FEE RESIDENCY PROGRAM. THANK YOU🙏 FOR YOUR REPLY RESPECTED DOC.. YOU R DOING GOOD JOB.. APPRECIATED🙏
Many congratulations! 🎉 I wonder why you chose UTHSA over Boston
Thank you! Because of location, cost of attendance price and I prefer the way the program is structured at UTHSA.
Why would you want to go to study in the USA and get in all that debt when it's free in many European countries?
Hi there! Well, because of the American dream ;) For some people its worth it.
Congratulations 🎉❤ I applied to Boston, I hope the call me. Because, I made a late application so, I am still waiting 😢
Good luck!! There's still hope :)
@ ❤️
What if you don't have a cosigner?
Hi there! I will actually talk about this in an upcoming video. There's some lenders that don't require you to have a co-signer!
@DrReginaB looking forward to see it
Congratulations 🎉its my dream school
Thank you! :)
Hii, is it to get job as a dental hygienist for international dentist in Florida?
hello! Yes, correct :)
Can we find job easily after license ?
Hello you have a really decent level in English. Wow! I need to know how to get that proficiency first, and what was the periode from the beginning until you acquired that native English tonation. Was it 12 months or 18 months or more? I love you.
Hi there! Thanks for watching :) I've been speaking English for many years, but it personally took me a while in the beginning to get to a good level. I spoke with many native speakers and had an exchange year in the United States, which helped the most. You have to speak constantly to learn from mistakes and improve this way.
Thank you so much , I was lost until I see your video , thank you , how can I find your page on instagram?
Hello thanks for the great video, do you know if i can do this as a student with unofficial transcripts, like im in third year dental school at cairo university, my program is 5 years and 1 year internship. I recieve unofficial diploma before i start internship and i receive offical degree 1 month after im done internship. Do you think its possible for me to get my transcript and degree evaluated at the end of my 5th year. Its just i want to do my inbde as a student not after i graduate to apply as soon as possible
Hi there! Thanks for watching. :) I believe you have to finish dental school and upload your complete diploma.
Hi Regina, in Massachusetts you can get a limited license too and after 5 years being a limited dentist you can obtain the license too
Hey there! Thank you for sharing that's really good to know! :)
Thanks for detailed explanation, but is it necessarily to be in the field of dentistry!!?? To be more clear I have a first profession degree in law can i use this evaluator or i should use another one? Thx again
Hey there! Thank you for watching! Are you planning on applying for dental schools in the US and have a dental degree as well? Then you should select dentistry. Unless you plan on studying in a different field.
Hello thanks for video, for exams we need ssn my questions is can i take that exams with ssn and work permit which goverment gives it with work and travel? thank you
Hey there! Thank you for watching. To get a work authorization and SSN here you have to have a visa or green card first. It's best to talk to an immigration lawyer about this.
Can the institution receiving the documents be JCNDE?
Hi there! If you want your results to be used for dental school applications you definitely have to follow the steps I'm mentioning in the video. Basically, be on the CAAPID website, then open 'order official foreign evaluation' and then select ECE. You won't have to select any institutions if you do it this way. It will automatically select CAAPID - ADEA as a recipient for you.
Thanks for your unique effort . So i have a question, As an international dentist how i have my SSN social security number?
Hey there! Thank you for watching! You do have to get a visa or green card first. Then you receive a SSN once you get your work authorization.
@@DrReginaB Thanks for your reply. I have another question: As an international student should i have toefl to get the license?
Hi, there.Thanks for the detailed video . Could you please answer if i apply only for a hygienist license in Florida i need to register in CAAPID ? Or i can skip this step ?
Hey!! No you don't have to register in CAAPID for this. You just have to pass the Dental board exam or Hygienist board exam. For this you just have to create a DENTIPIN. CAAPID is not necessary! :)
Can you make a video of the study materials used? Please
Will do :) Thanks for watching!
Hi there, thank you so much for this detailed information. I have two questions for you: 1. Did you only upload the copy of notarized transcript as a proof of completion( or just a simple copy with out notary) OR both send a mail and upload the proof of completion? 2. Where did you request to send your INBDE result ? Was it using DENTPIN log in >> send score to Florida Department of Health Board of Dentistry? or somewhere else?
Hi there! Thank you for watching! I just uploaded a regular copy. If they need more they'll contact you. Correct! For sending your INBDE results you have to login to your DENTPIN and then send your score to Florida Department of Health.
Do i need to go through CAAPID if I’m only applying for the exam and not the dental programs ?
Hi!! No CAAPID is only necessary once you're ready to apply to schools. You don't need CAAPID to take the exams.
hello Regina thanks for the video , hope ur doing great pls confirm how much time it takes approx to complete the process from submitting inbde, ece and other document than board exam and finally getting licence...thanks
Hello! Thanks for watching :) It depends on how fast you're able to take the two tests. Sometimes you're lucky and can take it the same month, sometimes there are no available test dates for the next month or two. So, if you're flexible with your test location, it should go fast, and you should be able to complete everything within 1-2 months.
Thanks
Hey Doc, Can u recommend any study material for board exam and what preparation is required for 2 practical exam...
awesome video!!! will help a lot of docs
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching :)
After getting hygienist license, will I be able to work in other states too or just Florida?
That license is only valid in Florida
Subscribed. Do you have any idea weather this is possible on OPT EAD work visa?
Hi Thanks for watching! :) I believe it's possible if you have a work authorization. Make sure to double-check with the Florida Health Department though!
As an international dentist, what are the visa requirements? I don't have any valid us visa, so if I clear the exam, how can I start practicing there?
Hi thank you for watching! It would be great if you would get a visa before you start this path. It's not easy getting work visas in this profession. Exploring educational pathways like the F-1 visa combined with OPT might be your best option. Each visa category has specific requirements and processes, so it’s wise to consult with an immigration attorney or expert to navigate your specific situation.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ACCEPTANCE. I JUST STARTED MY JOURNEY AND AM PLANNING FOR NEXT CYCLE.HOPE THAT THESE TIPS OF YOURS WILL BE A GREAT HELP FOR ME IN THE PROCESS. AND ONCE MORE AM SOO HAPPY FOR YOUR SUCCESS.
Hi there thank you for watching and I hope everything works out for you too! Good luck!
Simple and detailed. Thank you
Glad it helps! You're welcome :)
@@DrReginaB can we work as foreign dentist in USA after our admission at dental school
Did you get accepted?
Hi there! Yes I did! :)
Hi Dr., VCU has deadline till February 2025... do you think it is still advisable to apply to VCU now since that interviews have started and they have very few seats.
Hi there. :) Yes apply as early as possible! And start studying for their bench exam. It's very demanding. Good luck!
Hey! Thank you for your videos, they're very insightful! Really appreciate it. I just wanted to ask you if you had done a lot of shadowing or volunteering work in the US before applying or anything to highlight your implication ? Thank you again
Hi there thank you for watching and I'm glad the videos are helping. :) I didn't do much shadowing or volunteering. But worked as a dental assistant here for more than half a year.
Hi should we order 1 copy of ece to my address for 30 dollars
Hey there! Yes one copy for you is enough. Make sure to select the correct recipients (ADEA CAAPID) for the evaluation too.
I did my interview with Boston University this week. Fingers crossed we might be class mates.
Hi thank you for watching! I hope you will get accepted. Good luck! :)
@DrReginaB Thank you, Doctor. I am looking forward to July 2025.

What is the cheapest dental school for international students
Hi thank you for watching! :) I actually made a video about the cheapest international programs. You can check it out! But the cheapest so far is UT San Antonio.
Very cool, may I ask where you are originally from? Germany?
Hey thank you for watching :) Yes I'm from Germany!
@@DrReginaB May I ask why you stopped your dental practice in Germany and moved to America? Were the job opportunities in Germany poor? Thanks.
