North Carolina dental assistant online CE requirements

Dental assistants in North Carolina: No general CE requirement for basic dental assistants; DA II must maintain CPR and complete CE as needed to retain expanded functions. Online/live-course signal from Dentovio's sourced CE notes: 0102 ALL 6 hrs may be self-study if a post-course test and certificate are obtained, and courses must relate to clinical patient care from a Board-approved sponsor; current CPR certification required IN ADDITION to the 6 hrs (CPR hours do NOT count toward the 6). Dentists: 15 hrs/year (secondary sources indicate at least ~8 must be live/interactive and cite a ~1 hr jurisprudence and opioid-prescribing component for DEA registrants). Dentist-specific self-study cap and mandatory-topic detail are set in dentist rule 21 NCAC 16B . Confirm the current dental assistant live, webinar, correspondence, home-study, self-study, provider, and audit rules with the North Carolina dental board before enrolling.
