Good to know. Rule requires a licensee renewing an active license to report 30 credits; the reporting period is not stated in the rule and DOPL began moving the Board of Dentistry to biennial licensure on Aug 1, 2026. Sedation permits renew every 5 years with at least 25 CE hours in sedation (may include medical/office emergencies).
