Official Texas registration resources

The Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (TSBDE) is the registration authority. Its current application instructions and rules control the state process. Premier Dental Academy provides education and practice tools; training completion and state registration are separate steps.

TSBDE · Application

RDA registration and X-rays

The Board’s checklist covers high-school or GED eligibility, fingerprints, hands-on BLS, approved course/exam or qualifying DANB documentation, and other required records. Start here to understand the application that fits your situation.

TSBDE · Provider list

Approved courses and exams

Check the Board’s current list of approved X-ray certification courses and examinations. Ask your training provider which exam and completion documents are included, then compare those details with the Board’s application instructions.
