# Nebraska dental license renewal

Answer: For dental license renewal in Nebraska, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 30 hours / 2 years; dental hygienists need 30 hours / 2 years; dental assistants: No state CE requirement for dental assistants (172 NAC ch. 57 addresses licensed dentists and dental hygienists).. Renewal-cycle notes: Biennial (24-month) cycle; renewal due on or before March 1 of each odd-numbered year (per 172 NAC ch. 57 §006). Both dentists and hygienists: 30 hrs. Mandatory: at least 2 hrs infection control per period. Home study capped at 10 hrs per renewal period. Permit-holders (e.g., sedation/expanded functions): minimum 2 hrs per permit area; sedation-permit dentists min 6 hrs in anesthesia/sedation administration. Controlled-substance-prescribing dentists: at least 3 hrs biennially on prescribing opiates, including 0.5 hr on the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) — this opioid/PDMP mandate is cited in secondary/board sources; the LII text of §006 emphasized infection control and permit hours.
