For over 50 years we’ve been a mainstay in national clinical testing as a pathway toward licensure. CRDTS is governed by our Member State Dental Boards and State Dental Commissions that regulate dental and dental hygiene licensure. Together, the CRDTS Members and CRDTS professionals develop and administer fair, valid, and reliable examinations to assess the competency of candidates wishing to practice dental and dental hygiene.
CRDTS examinations are recognized and accepted in over 40 states nationwide and that number is expected to increase.
CRDTS is dedicated to continuing the commitment of excellence in testing with integrity and professionalism by continually assessing and enhancing the content of our examinations and ensuring a fair and level playing field for all candidates.

In recent years, we've added more options for greater convenience and flexibility for our candidates:
We continue to build on this history of innovation to remain at the forefront of the dental exam community well into the future!
