We've been developing and administering examinations on behalf of State Dental Boards since 1969. Originally established as a regional agency serving dental boards in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, today we are a nationally recognized testing agency.
With portability through initial licensure and/or credentialing, our exams are accepted throughout the U.S. With more than 50 years of testing excellence, we have a proud history of data gathering and psychometric analysis ensuring that our exams are current and valid. Our dental and dental hygiene examiners are passionate about the profession and are dedicated to providing the best exam experience for every candidate.
Our recent expansion includes the development of independent test sites providing candidates with additional test site options. Exams are offered monthly at our Central Office location in Topeka, KS and candidates can register online.
Remediation and reeducation are also offered at our Topeka facility through our CARE Program. This provides a tool for licensees needing to remediate, enhance their hand skills, or reeducate after being away from practice for a period of time.
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 the commitment of excellence in testing with integrity and professionalism. The highest of standards are maintained through a process of continually assessing and enhancing the content of our examinations. Candidates can be confident that CRDTS exams provide a fair and level playing field for all.
