My name is xxxx..I love this webpage (Foreign Trained Dentist)because the comments posted are my thoughts exactly! 
 
My Husband is from Central America where He graduated as a Dentist, then in 1998 He moved to Connecticut. We got married in 2000, and now after 9 years and 2 kids, We feel stuck and frustrated. At first, was the language barrier so He went to school to learn english.  But with every attemp to progress in the process of revalidating his license here in the US there is a disappointment, because without this revalidation the years that He went to the University are not any good!  He is currently working as a Dental Assistant with extended duties(of course).

Happy Holidays everyone. I gave my daughters a Wii and Wii Fit for Christmas. Wii has a newsfeed on it that takes national news from the internet via a WiFi connection. Guess what one of the articles on Christmas day was about?

A foreign trained dentist name Carlos Flores was caught running a dental clinic in Peekskill, NY in his kitchen. On top of this, Carlos claims to be a licensed orthodontist in Ecuador. You can find the article here. When I was a kid growing up in a Filipino community in the 1970s, I vaguely remember visiting a Filipino dentist in his home. Not sure if he was licensed or not or who he was. Within our own cultural communities, we would go to these folks. Their reputations would be passed on by word of mouth. Never had a problem.
