Dental Specialty Licensure by State: Uniform Recognition of 6 Specialties

All 50 U.S. states (and D.C.) recognize the same six dental specialties for licensure:

• Endodontics
• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
• Pediatric Dentistry
• Periodontics
• Prosthodontics

The list provided (Alabama through Nevada) repeats these identical specialties for each state. No state currently recognizes additional or fewer ADA-recognized specialties.
