South Dakota dental license renewal

Sourced answer

For dental license renewal in South Dakota, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 100 hours / 5 years (minimum 50 hours must be 'academic'; anesthesia/sedation permit holders need an additional 25 hours in anesthesia topics per cycle); dental hygienists need 75 hours / 5 years (minimum 5 hours in dental radiography per 5-year period); dental assistants: Registered Dental Assistants (RDAs): 60 hours / 5 years (if certified in dental radiography, minimum 5 hours radiography per 5-year period). No state CE requirement for non-registered/chairside dental assistants.. Renewal-cycle notes: 5-year CE cycle. CPR: dentists, hygienists, and RDAs must maintain a current CPR card (AHA Healthcare Provider, ARC Professional Rescuer, or equivalent with hands-on skills assessment). Home study/self-study cap: maximum 30 hours per 5-year cycle for all license types. No specific mandated infection-control or opioid/controlled-substance CE topic was found in the board's published overview (beyond CPR and, for hygienists/RDAs, radiography). Governing rules: SD Administrative Rule Article 20:43.
