Thanks for visiting our site.
We’re sorry, but we’re not really sure about that. TESDA stated that the national practice of this qualification requires a license from the Board of Dentistry of the Professional Regulation Commission, but we don’t know if it qualifies as a pre-dental course. It’s probably be best if you’ll contact TESDA directly so they can give you an accurate response.
