# Vermont dental license renewal CE requirements

Answer: For dental license renewal in Vermont, dentists need 30 hours / 2 years and dental hygienists need 18 hours / 2 years. Dental assistants: No state CE requirement (dental assistants register but board rules do not impose a specific CE hour count; if DANB-certified, DANB renewal separately requires 12+ CE/year) Renewal-cycle notes: Biennial renewal via VT Office of Professional Regulation. Dentist: 30 hrs every 2 yrs; all may be completed by home/self-study (self-study courses must conclude with an examination to be accepted). A course in emergency office procedures is required as a condition of every biennial renewal for BOTH dentists and hygienists (only one emergency-procedures course may count toward the hour total). Hygienist: 18 hrs... Confirm current renewal instructions with the Vermont dental board before filing.
