What subscribers say

Good KDLE preparation
The KDLE General Dentist Qbank was good preparation for the exam. Give yourself enough time to finish every subject.
Dr. Saeed Al MazroueiDr. Saeed Al Mazrouei
Practical dental pharmacology
The dental pharmacology questions on antibiotics and analgesics were very practical.
Dr. Venkatesh BoseDr. Venkatesh Bose
Ready for any mix of subjects
The large number of questions meant I kept seeing new clinical scenarios throughout my preparation. Because there were so many questions, I never felt I was just memorizing answers. By the end I felt ready for whatever mix of subjects the exam might include.

FAQs

Questions before you start

Who is eligible to sit the KDLE General Dentist exam?

Before subscribing, check that you meet the exam board's eligibility criteria:

  • Dental degree: A recognized Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) or equivalent dental degree from an accredited institution.
  • Internship: A completed one-year internship following graduation, with supervised clinical exposure.
  • Post-internship clinical experience: Generally 5-6 years of clinical experience after your internship, calculated from your BDS certificate or license registration date, whichever is later -- confirm your own exact requirement with MOH Kuwait, since this can vary by application track.
  • Confirmed Kuwait job offer: KDLE applications are employer-initiated only -- self-applications are not accepted. You need a confirmed job offer from a licensed Kuwait employer before your application can be submitted.
  • Valid license, Good Standing Certificate & verified documents: An active license to practice in your home country (or country of last employment), a recent Certificate of Good Standing, Kuwait Dental Association membership, and authenticated degree/experience certificates verified through MOH Kuwait's document review process.
How do I apply for the KDLE General Dentist exam?
  1. Secure a confirmed job offer from a Kuwait-based employer -- self-initiated KDLE applications are not accepted.
  2. Your employer submits your credentials (authenticated dental degree, experience certificates, passport/civil ID, Kuwait Dental Association membership, photos) to MOH Kuwait's Licensing Department.
  3. MOH Kuwait reviews your documents and verifies your qualifications for equivalency.
  4. Complete an interview and medical examination as part of the primary approval process.
  5. Once approved, schedule your computer-based written exam through Prometric.
  6. Pass the written exam (60%+) -- some guidance notes a viva/oral component may also apply, so confirm this for your own application track.
  7. Receive your KDLE result and, on passing, your Kuwait dental license -- valid for one year, after which continued practice or renewal requirements apply.

Where do these Qbank questions come from?

Official past papers aren't released publicly, so our KDLE (Kuwait) General Dentist Qbank offers 3,750+ original exam-style MCQs, reviewed by clinicians and mapped to the core syllabus areas of Gulf dental licensing exams. Every question is checked against standard dental references and current guidance (ADA, FDI and AAE guidance, the 2017 AAP/EFP periodontal classification, ICDAS, IADT dental trauma guidelines, SDCEP and CDC infection-control guidance), and comes with a detailed explanation, an exam pearl and a quick comparison table.

Do you offer Qbank (question bank) free trial?

Yes. Almost every QBank has a free trial of up to 30 questions taken from all its topics, with full explanations and the same features paid users get: timed tests, custom tests, notes and performance analysis. Click Free Trial on the QBank page and sign in or create a free account to start. No payment card is needed.

How can I renew/extend my Qbank subscription?

Please use the following steps to purchase a renewal for your subscription:

  1. Login to your Qbank dashboard on our website.
  2. On the "Welcome" tab in menu, click at “Buy Extension” link.
  3. Chose the extension offer best suites to your requirements and click “Buy” button.
  4. Follow the checkout steps through filling out required details and place an order.

Upon a successful transaction, you will be sent a confirmation email.

A renewal or extension of time to existing Qbank subscription will not start the subscription over, provide a reset or grant access to additional MCQs that were previously not available. This renewal or extension will be available from the existing expiry date, not from the date of purchase and cannot be deferred in any way to start at a later date.

To qualify for discounted renewal pricing, one must renew / extend before the expiry date of existing Qbank subscription. Otherwise required Qbank will need to be purchased on regular pricing but it will regain your previous records in your Qbank. Please note, records will only be available if subscription for the same Qbank is made within 3 months, otherwise all records will be removed automatically.

If a person subscribed for multiple Qbanks, renewal / extension for one Qbank will not apply to any other Qbank.

All times and dates displayed for subscription expiration correspond with the UAE Standard Time, which may be different than your local time zone.
