# North Dakota dental license renewal

Answer: For dental license renewal in North Dakota, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 32 hours / 2 years (biennial); dental hygienists need 16 hours / 2 years (biennial); dental assistants: 16 hours / 2 years (biennial) — Registered/Qualified Dental Assistants. Renewal-cycle notes: Biennial renewal. Dentists & hygienists renew by Dec 31 of ODD-numbered years; dental assistants (RDA/QDA) renew by Dec 31 of EVEN-numbered years. Self-study/home-study & online cap: up to one-half — 16 hrs max for dentists, 8 hrs max for hygienists, 8 hrs max for assistants (remainder must be live/interactive real-time). CPR/BLS certification must be maintained at all times by dentists, hygienists, and assistants (if ACLS/PALS is otherwise required, that must be maintained). Mandatory topics for hygienists (per NDAC 20-04-01-08): min 2 hrs ethics and 2 hrs infection control within the 16. Profession-specific rules: dentists NDAC 20-02-01-06, hygienists 20-04-01-08, assistants 20-03-01-06. Live = in-person or real-time remote/electronic with interaction; self-study = pre-recorded/self-paced material.
