This maybe helpful: http://www.dentalcomfortzone.com/story.php?aid=273 This link maybe helpful. Most states don't require a dental residency. It's a 1 year residency.

Not necessarily: Some dentists choose to start work right after graduating from dental school, others choose to get additional training. There are many residencies for dentists wanting to sub specialize. See http://www.asdanet.org/choosing-a-career-path.aspx. For more details.
