Wisconsin dental license renewal

For dental license renewal in Wisconsin, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 30 credit hours / 2 years; dental hygienists need 12 credit hours / 2 years; dental assistants: Dental assistants are not licensed/regulated by the state, so no state CE requirement. EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary) certificate is permanent (no periodic renewal), but continuing education is required to maintain competency — verify current EFDA CE terms with DSPS.. Renewal-cycle notes: BIENNIAL (Wis. Admin. Code ch. DE 13; renewal biennium). DENTIST: 30 credit hrs / 2 yrs, of which not less than 25 must be clinical dentistry/medicine, and 2 hrs must cover prescribing of controlled substances for the treatment of dental pain. HYGIENIST: 12 credit hrs / 2 yrs, of which not less than 2 hrs must be infection control; no more than 2 of the 12 may be satisfied by BLS/CPR training. CE does not apply to the biennium in which a license is first issued. Records must be kept at least 6 years. No dedicated law/ethics hour mandate in the rule; no explicit blanket live-vs-self-study percentage cap found (governed by DE 13 approved-course criteria).
