Outside candidates are encouraged to utilize the Organizing for the CRDTS Examination course in preparation for the CRDTS Exam.

Please visit the CRDTS Frequently Asked Questions page for more information regarding CRDTS requirements and policies.

The Central Regional Dental Testing Service, Inc. (CRDTS) is a testing service made up of fifteen State Boards of Dentistry who have joined forces to develop and administer fair, valid and reliable examinations of competency to practice dentistry and dental hygiene.

Fees

Candidates wishing to take the CRDTS exam at MCG are required to pay a facility fee above the fee charged by CRDTS. These fees are due to MCG one month prior to the scheduled exam date.

Current facility fees are:
DENTIST - $400.00
DENTAL HYGIENE - $125.00

Patient Availablilty

MCG does not have a broad patient pool and does not allow applicants access to patient records. It is the responsibility of each candidate to provide their own patients.  Securing back-up patients is strongly advised.  The candidate must make arrangements for their patients to receive follow-up care if treatment during the exam is unsatisfactory.

All questions regarding eligibility of patient and/or types of patients must be answered through the Central Regional Dental Testing Service (CRDTS) 1-800-370-0380.
