Endodontist
Military experience examining, diagnosing, and treating dental pulp and periapical diseases and injuries directly supports civilian endodontic practice.
How to prepare: Request a review of your dental education, license, and specialty training against the target state's requirements and the prospective employer's credentialing criteria. State dental licensure is required, usually including an accredited DDS or DMD and written and clinical exams; specialty practice requires postdoctoral training, generally an accredited residency, so confirm the state's specific licensing and specialty-practice requirements.
What the civilian work involves
- Perform root canal therapy for injured or infected teeth.
