How to become a dentist in the USA

How to become a dentist in the USA ?
It is really long way to become a dentist in America . I will talk about the steps for foreign dentist. And the steps involved in this process are :

First of all, you should be graduated from a dental school or five years dental program, and of course you should have the certificate and the transcript. The next step is to send your transcript to the ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators) and get the enclosed letter from them. Then you have to apply for the NBDE part 1 (National Board of Dental Exam) and get a good score. After this exam you have to choose between two ways , either to look for a residency program or to look for an advance standing program in a dental school. Now either way you chose you still have to take another exam which is NBDE part 2, and of course you have to take the TOFEL (Test Of English as Foreigner Language) and get really high score. The last step before getting the working licence is to take the bench exam, which is a clinical exam on a real patients. And finally you will apply for the state licence. That was a general idea about how to become a licensed dentist in America, but its really harder than what its looks like. So please wish me luck in my long way to get the license.
