Arkansas dental license renewal

For dental license renewal in Arkansas, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 50 hours (CEUs) / 2 years (biennial); dental hygienists need 40 hours (CEUs) / 2 years (biennial); dental assistants: No general state CE requirement for dental assistants; radiography-permit holders must complete a board-approved radiography course before operating certain machines/renewing the radiography permit and hold Healthcare-Provider CPR. DANB-certified assistants follow separate DANB annual CE renewal.. Renewal-cycle notes: Two-year reporting period. Per Article XIV (038.00.08 Ark. Code R. 002): dentists 50 CEUs, hygienists 40 CEUs per 2-year period. Mandatory: at least 1 CE hour on infection control each 2-year reporting period. Opioid/controlled-substance: DEA-registered practitioners must complete an 8-hour one-time training on treating/managing patients with opioid or other substance use disorders (federal MATE Act requirement, effective for DEA registrations/renewals on or after June 27, 2023). Home-study courses accepted if they include a post-test and certificate of completion. Non-clinical courses (money management, investments, org business meetings) do not qualify. Records kept 3 years. No CPR or law/ethics hour mandate found in the CE rule.
