AB2625 allows graduates from approved foreign dental schools to practice in California.

AB2625 amends the Dental Practice Act to allow graduates from foreign dental schools with maintained approval to practice dentistry in California. It specifies that graduates from schools approved before January 1, 2020, remain eligible for licensure. The bill addresses California's shortage of dentists, particularly in underserved areas, by facilitating the licensure of foreign-trained dentists. It also mandates that foreign schools provide regular updates on their accreditation status.
