Illinois dental license renewal

For dental license renewal in Illinois, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 48 hours / 3 years (triennial licensing period); dental hygienists need 36 hours / 3 years (triennial licensing period); dental assistants: No state CE requirement (Illinois dental assistants are not separately licensed with CE obligations). Renewal-cycle notes: Triennial (3-year) renewal period; CE not required for the first renewal cycle after original license issuance. Correspondence/self-study cap: no more than 50% of required hours may be correspondence (on-demand webinar/journal); live webinars count as in-person. Mandatory each cycle: 1 hr sexual harassment prevention; 1 hr implicit bias awareness (effective 2024). BLS/CPR current certification required; counts for max 4 hrs/period. Opioid: 3 hrs safe-opioid-prescribing for Illinois Controlled Substances registrants; separately, DEA registrants owe the federal MATE Act 8-hr training. Mandated-reporter training every 6 years for those working with children. Dentists holding sedation Permit A/B need 9 of the 48 hours in sedation techniques. Verify current per-cycle mandates against IDFPR, as state add-on courses change.
