# Wyoming dental license renewal

Answer: For dental license renewal in Wyoming, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 16 hours / 2 years (biennial); dental hygienists need 16 hours / 2 years (biennial); dental assistants: No CE hour requirement stated for dental assistant permit holders (radiograph, pit-and-fissure sealant permits). Permits renew every 2 years in odd-numbered years; radiograph permits historically renewed annually per some sources. No CE hours specified by the Board's CE page.. Renewal-cycle notes: Biennial (2-year) renewal cycle for dentists and hygienists; renewal deadline December 31 with a grace period Jan 1–Mar 31. Of the 16 dentist hours, 3 hours MUST be on responsible prescribing of controlled substances (statutory mandate the Board cannot waive) — this is the opioid/controlled-substance component. Current BLS certification is required IN ADDITION to the 16 hours ('BLS hours cannot count toward your 16 hour requirement'). No separate mandated hours found for infection control or law/ethics/jurisprudence (these are listed only as acceptable subject areas). LIVE vs SELF-STUDY: no cap — 'You can take your CE in person or online. There is no limit regarding how many CE you may take online.' Evidence is attestation-only unless randomly selected for audit. Hygienists have the same 16/2yr requirement but no controlled-substance-prescribing mandate. Dental assistant CE not addressed on the CE page (see Chapter 7 board rules).
