Dentovio public answer
New Hampshire dental license renewal
For dental license renewal in New Hampshire, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 40 hours (CEUs) / 2 years; dental hygienists need 20 hours (CEUs) / 2 years; dental assistants: No CE requirement in the state CE rule (Den 403.03) for dental assistants; the OPLC CE rule covers dentists and dental hygienists. (Certified/EFDA credential holders may face separate DANB credential-maintenance CE, not a state board mandate.). Renewal-cycle notes: Biennial cycle (renewals due by March 31; dentists renew in even years, hygienists in odd years), per N.H. Admin. Code Den 403.03. Dentists: 40 CEUs, at least 30 in clinical dental care (including a current BLS-HCP course). Hygienists: 20 CEUs, at least 15 clinical (including BLS-HCP). Mandatory for both: at least 2 CEUs infection control (CDC guidelines, live or online) and at least 2 CEUs medical-emergency training. DEA-registered licensees: 3 CEUs pain management/addiction (or pass an approved online exam). Credit: 1 CEU per lecture hour, 2 CEUs per hour of participatory clinical/lab course. CPR/BLS must be current. Excess hours do NOT carry forward. The official rule sets no explicit live-vs-self-study percentage cap (a 'half must be live' claim appears in some blogs but is not in Den 403.03 — treat as unverified).
