Mississippi dental license renewal CE requirements
For dental license renewal in Mississippi, dentists need 40 hours / 2 years and dental hygienists need 20 hours / 2 years.

Opioid: dentists who prescribe/administer/dispense controlled substances (or propose to) must complete 3 hrs opioid-prescribing CDE each cycle.
