A. 1. The Board of Dentistry may issue a license to practice
dentistry, without examination, to an out-of-state dentist who has
been engaged in the practice of dentistry in another state for at
least five (5) years, upon presentation to the Board of a certificate
from the dental licensing agency of that state, certifying the
applicant's length of practice and that the applicant is in good
standing with the agency, and upon the payment of a fee established by
the rules of the Board; provided, however, the state from which the
applicant presents a license to practice dentistry shall have required
the applicant to meet professional education, competency, and moral
character standards substantially equivalent to the standards required
by the Board for issuance of a license by examination to practice
dentistry in this state.
2. The Board shall not issue a license pursuant to this subsection to
any person who would not otherwise be eligible to receive a license to
practice dentistry.
3. The Board may require:
a. an applicant for a license to practice dentistry pursuant to this
subsection to have completed the same continuing education
requirements as required of dentists in this state, and
b. that the state from which the applicant presents credentials afford
substantially equivalent licensure by credentialing to dentists of
this state.
B. Any dentist who is in good standing with the Board shall, upon
application to the Board and payment of a fee established by the rules
of the Board, receive a certificate which shall attest that the
dentist is in good standing with the Board.
