There are expected to be about 13,500 new opportunities. This is due to industry expansion as well as many existing dentists retiring in the coming years. However, there is a shortage of dentists to fill these roles, creating an opportunity for internationally trained dentists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-start-your-research-with-the-noc-code-for-dentist-jobs-in-canada\"><strong>Start Your Research with the NOC Code for Dentist Jobs in Canada<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have international qualifications, it\u2019s important to know what you require to work in Canada and understand the Canadian labour market.

So, it&#8217;s important to contact the provincial or territorial regulatory body (links provided below) that governs the dental profession in Canada before you arrive in Canada.  They can tell you what documents you will require as well as the cost of assessment fees. The licensing process can be lengthy and expensive. So you need to prepare for this reality and ensure that you afford both the time and cost. Take your time to learn about the licensing process and what the dental regulatory body will expect of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All regulatory bodies recognize the certificate of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ndeb-bned.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Dental Examining Board of Canada<\/a>&nbsp;(NDEB). However, to write the exam, you must be a graduate from an accredited program in Canada or the USA \u2013 and with some conditions, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have graduated from a dental program outside of the mentioned countries, you will be considered an internationally educated dentist and have to take a two-year qualifying program to sit for the exam. In addition to the application and document verification processes, the NDEB assessment process includes three assessments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Assessment of Clinical Judgement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Assessment of Clinical Judgment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to successfully complete all three steps before you can write the NDEB exams. Once you pass these exams you may apply to the dental regulator in your province to get licensed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re immigrating to Quebec, you have three years to meet the mandatory requirement for French language proficiency. If you wish to work in a dental specialty, you will need additional training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/prepareforcanada.com\/working\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Do Education Evaluation and Credential Recognition Differ?

To prepare for an interview for a role in dentistry, here are some questions that an interviewer may ask you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-education\"><strong>Education<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>How would you describe your educational experience?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-personality\"><strong>Personality<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>What type of personality types do you work best with?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>How would you handle an unhappy or uncomfortable patient?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>What do you like most about dentistry? Least?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-philosophy\"><strong>Philosophy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>What would you say is your dental philosophy?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>How would you describe your knowledge of current dentistry technology and procedures?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>What professional development have you done in the last year to enhance your skills and knowledge?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>What experience do you have with the business and administrative side of running a dental practice?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-questions-you-may-want-to-ask-in-a-dentistry-job-interview\"><strong>Questions You May Want to Ask in a Dentistry Job Interview<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>How is your dental practice changing? Is it growing?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Do you actively market or depend on referrals?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>What are your goals for the practice?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>What role would I play in this practice?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid asking questions about dentist&#8217;s salary and benefits until the time is right or the subject is brought up by the interviewer. It\u2019s helpful if you have a portfolio of your work. Obviously, respect the anonymity and privacy of your patients, but you can impress a prospective employer when you can show the quality of your work (before and after photos, case histories, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the type of dental practice you work for, make sure that you convey value to your next boss. How much did you produce? Yes, you are highly trained, qualified, and skilled, but at the end of the day, this is about operating a profitable small business. A dental practice wants to know that you are going to contribute as least as much and hopefully more to your next practice than you have to your current employer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":246976,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[339,210],"tags":[209,111,41,56],"class_list":["post-224768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-pathways","category-dentistry","tag-dentistry","tag-job-search","tag-living-in-canada","tag-working-in-canada"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dentist Jobs in Canada | Prepare For Canada<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn about dentist jobs in Canada!
