What is DENTPIN?

DENTPIN (DENTal Personal Identification Number) is a unique, eight-digit number that helps protect your personal identifying information. It replaces the use of Social Security Numbers, Canadian Social Insurance Numbers or Reference Numbers for the dental testing, application and education systems.

If you have previously taken or applied to take any dental exam, or if you are a licensed dentist or dental hygienist in the U.S., you already have a DENTPIN; please do not register for another.

To change or correct your name or other information, do not register for a new DENTPIN. Instead, log in and use the self-service feature to:

  • Update your personal details
  • Retrieve a forgotten DENTPIN 
  • Reset your password

 

Register for a DENTPIN

If you are testing for the first time, you must register for a DENTPIN before you apply to test.
