How to become a dentist in us? I am a brazilan dentist?

I would like to work in US as dentist. I have a dentistry license from Brazil. I read that in California I need to take a 2 year International Dentist Program to be able to work there as a dentist. What is the process that I have to go through? Is it the same requirements for the other states?

Answer:
I just want to answer to Old Dragon. It seems like you don't know much about third world countries. If you're a professional, that doesn't guarantee that you're in the upper class. You can graduate from college and when you start working you can be getting paid minimum wage. Doctors in third world countries are not always rich...they're rarely rich. The only thing that could probably guarantee them becoming rich as a doctor, in this case a dentist, is usually if you study in other countries such as France, USA, England... and even better if you have experience in those countries.


And to answer your question on how to become a dentist in the US, If you're a legal resident all you have to do is take a certain test to convalidate your degree. I believe you can get the test in a college. Colleges usually offer a program on which they train you a little bit for the test, especially because some people need a little help with learning the terms that they already know in their own language, but now they have to learn them in English. If you can pass the test than they give you your Certificate saying that you are allowed to work as a dentist in the US.
We really don't need more dentists so why don't you stay where you are. I'm sure that the people in Brazil need you more then we do, and if you are a dentist then you must be in the upper class of Brazilian people, so why not stay there and do something positive to improve your own country.
Well, you know about floss, from what I've seen of those Brazilian string bikinis.
