# New Mexico dental CPR requirements

Answer: For dental CPR/BLS requirements in New Mexico, Dentovio's sourced CE notes say: Mandatory topics: CPR/BLS current at all times; infection control; NM jurisprudence (law/ethics) ~1 hr per cycle; and licensees with an active DEA registration must complete 3 hrs of CE on pharmacology and the risks of controlled substances (opioid/controlled-substance training) per renewal period. Confirm current CPR, BLS, hands-on skills, provider, renewal-cycle, and audit rules with the New Mexico dental board before renewing.
