For internationally trained dentists, becoming licensed in Canada requires going through the NDEB equivalency process. This pathway ensures that all dentists meet Canadian standards before practicing.
The process includes three major exams: AFK, ACJ, and NDECC. Each evaluates a different level of competency, from foundational knowledge to clinical performance.
Many candidates struggle because they don’t understand the full journey from the beginning. Without a clear roadmap, preparation becomes inefficient.
