Endodontist
Army experience diagnosing and treating dental pulp disease and injuries to the pulp and surrounding tissues directly aligns with civilian endodontic care.
How to prepare: Request a review of your dental degree, examination history, and endodontic residency against the intended state's licensing and specialty-practice requirements. State licensure is required, usually with an accredited DDS or DMD and written and clinical exams, and specialty practice requires postdoctoral training.
What the civilian work involves
- Perform root canal therapy for injured or infected teeth.
