# West Virginia dental assistant online CE requirements

Answer: Dental assistants in West Virginia: No specific CE hour count published for dental assistants in the CE rule (W.Va. CSR 5-11); EDDA/expanded-duties credentials require board-approved coursework. Verify directly with the WV Board of Dentistry.. Online/live-course signal from Dentovio's sourced CE notes: MANDATORY TOPICS (both): 2 hrs infection control each reporting period; a current healthcare-provider BLS/CPR certification (hands-on; counts toward CE; internet-only BLS not accepted unless it includes a skills exam with a certified instructor). SELF-STUDY CAPS: up to 80% of the requirement may be supervised self-instruction (online); non-supervised self-instruction is capped at 10% of the requirement. Confirm the current dental assistant live, webinar, correspondence, home-study, self-study, provider, and audit rules with the West Virginia dental board before enrolling.
