Answer 1

Hello Fedaa,

as Danny said it's possible for a foreign national to work as a dentist in Germany. See detailed information given by German Dental Association: https://goo.gl/seO47t (German text)
They have a basic English translation that responds in principle to your question, **** for section 'Practising in Germany': https://goo.gl/8XtKLg

Kind regards, Jan

Answer 2

Hello Fedaa,

If you would like to work as a dentist in Germany, you would have to apply for a so called approbation.
I do not know if this is possible before you have learned German,
but I found a page which gives you detailed info about the authorities which
would be responsable in your case and how the procedure to apply for an approbation is structured.
You just have to enter your profession and your residence and you will get feedback what the procedure would be like and who you need to contact:

Not that I know of. I will be visiting dentist Torrance this week; I can ask him about this. He is a very good dentist and has been practicing for a very long time now. I found him from ****://newsmilesdentistry.***. He will know about it. Also, my cousin is a dental student and she might know as well.
