Re: Dentist wanting to move from UK to FL
It's difficult to get a B-2 visa if one is eligible to use the VWP. It's not impossible, but it's difficult...and if the B-2 gets denied, it can hinder using the VWP for 6 to 12 months after.

Take a look at the following:

Loads of info regarding the different dentistry boards in each of the States.

Re: Dentist wanting to move from UK to FL
Thanks to everyone for your replies. Much appreciated!
I'm really not looking to 'get rich'. Money is not my reason for coming. I really don't need the money, my salary is great. I just wanted to go away for a year to have some time to think and time to myself before I 'grow up' and start thinking about marriage. I've had a lot of personal issues that I have never really taken time out to reflect on and deal with. I know it sounds very cliche but I really just need some time to myself and I thought that I can't just go away and do nothing so I wanted to try working..

Re: Dentist wanting to move from UK to FL
Hey, thanks for replying. I feel I fit into the skills visa category. I think when people think of dentists in the US they automatically think of all those places that are overpopulated with dentists for example LA or NYC. There are quite a lot of smaller quieter areas that I think lack dentists. Obviously I'm not from America so I cannot say this for definite hence why I'm asking on here what you guys think! 
Nope - you can't join any practice without taking the exams first anyway?! After I take the tests (I'm not sure exactly how long it takes to do them so anyone who has any info about it please post!), I would be just as qualified as any other American dentist, and can apply to anywhere in the US.

Oh, and BringMeThatHorizon, I hope you like dentures and implants, and those types of things. The demographics of FL, especially during the winter months, is decidedly on the more elderly side.

Ah come on, you're a wuss. When you live here a while, you only need the a/c June to September. You basically become cold blooded like the local reptiles! 4 months sweat, 8 months pleasant. That's a pretty good ratio.
