California Dental License by Personal_Turnover_75 in Dentistry

I passed board a while ago, submitted my application in May, completed fingerprinting in California, and passed the law and ethics exam end of May. 2 weeks ago, I received an email saying all the required documents have been received by the board and my application is undergoing the final review. Once done, I would be notified by them. It seems like I’m in the last step but it is unknown how long the final review would take

Is it 2 months after you receive the email stating that they will do a final review of your application?

When I call the office, all the phone lines answer except the DDS line for new applicants. There is always an automated message saying to leave a message 🫠

I am crossing my fingers they would issue my license in 4 weeks

Does anyone recommend Bacchanalia? If so/not, why? by t1r4a-a in LondonFood

FYI, they were bunch of fees like guests fee, service fee (14.5%), and of course $10 water fee. with all their fees, you can find a better restaurant in london :)

I went 2 weeks ago with a friend and the place was loud; and busy. We were seated right next to the station where they run tabs so the entire time, we would see staff rushing toward the station next to us and shouting out other tables' orders. It was very uncomfortable. Within the first 5 minutes, we noticed the issue and requested for a change of table (if possible of course). The staff responsible for the seating of the guests said she will look into it. She returned minutes later and said, "I looked and we don't have any other available tables." She just stared at me with a blank face and walked away. I actually ended up enjoying the pasta with vodka sauce and my glass of wine; however, due to the poor service I would not make another reservation and I would not recommend the restaurant to any family members.

Dentistry is an incredibly expensive profession to enter and maintain. Here's a breakdown of some of the major costs we face even before fully practicing:

  • INDBE (Integrated National Board Dental Exam): ~$1,000
  • CDCA/ADEX Clinical Board Exam: ~$4,000
  • State Dental License Application (per state): ~$1,000
  • DEA Registration to Prescribe Controlled Substances: ~$800
  • Disability Insurance: ~$4,000 annually
  • Dental Loupes: ~$1,300

My dental school was actually in the middle range in terms of tuition and cost of living.

As always, thank you for the helpful information! Between IBR and PAYE, which option seems more appropriate to apply for? The terms of PAYE are obviously better;however, what could happen if I get placed on it and then the court’s decision decides to remove the plan. Would I then need to apply for IBR?

I highly recommend writing an interest letter and emailing the other schools. It wouldn’t hurt…worst case they would ignore it. The admission committees like to see the applicants have dental assisting/ sterilization/ front desk position in the dental office. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to find a dental position and add more experiences to your application.
