New York dental license renewal

For dental license renewal in New York, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 60 contact hours / 3 years (triennial registration); dental hygienists need 24 contact hours / 3 years (triennial registration); dental assistants: No state CE requirement — NY does not license/register 'dental assistants' as a CE-bearing profession (certified dental assisting is regulated separately and lacks a triennial CE mandate like dentists/hygienists). Renewal-cycle notes: Three-year registration cycle. Live-vs-self-study caps: dentists must earn at least 70% (42 of 60 hrs) via live courses — max 18 self-study hrs; hygienists must earn at least 7/12 (14 of 24 hrs) live. Mandatory topics — Dentists: one-time 3-hr dental jurisprudence & ethics course, one-time 2-hr tobacco/oral-health course (first applicable registration), continuous CPR certification, and a State-approved infection control course every 4 years. Hygienists: State-approved infection control course every 4 years (no jurisprudence or CPR mandate). Both dentists and hygienists are mandated reporters and must complete NYSED-approved child abuse identification/reporting training (2 hrs; updated protocol deadline Nov 17, 2026). No specific opioid/controlled-substance CE mandate identified. Records kept 6 years.
