# Maryland dental license renewal CE requirements

Answer: For dental license renewal in Maryland, dentists need 30 hours / 2 years and dental hygienists need 30 hours / 2 years. Dental assistants: No general dental-assistant CE license. Maryland instead certifies Dental Radiation Technologists, who need a 2-hour infection control course each renewal (plus one-time implicit bias). No CE-bearing 'dental assistant'... Renewal-cycle notes: 2-year cycle running Jan 1 through Dec 31 of the following year; CE must be completed by Dec 31 of the year preceding the renewal year. Confirm current renewal instructions with the Maryland dental board before filing.
