# Alaska dental board > Official board link and Dentovio's independent source-backed state references for Alaska dental CE, license renewal, and foreign-trained dentist pathways. URL: https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/alaska Last verified: 2026-07-08 Dentovio is not the Alaska dental board. This is an independent educational directory; confirm final licensure, renewal, discipline, fee, form, and application decisions with the official board. ## Direct answer Alaska Board of Dental Examiners (Dept. of Commerce, Community & Economic Development) is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Alaska. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Alaska CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 32 contact hours / 2 years (biennial); hygienists: 20 contact hours / 2 years (biennial). ## Official board links - Official board: - CE or renewal source used by Dentovio: ## Dentovio state references - [Alaska dental CE requirements](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska online dental CE](https://dentovio.com/online-dental-ce/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental license lookup](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental license renewal](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska dental license renewal CE requirements](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/alaska/license-renewal/index.html.md) - [Alaska dentist CE requirements](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/alaska/dentist/index.html.md) - [Foreign-trained dentist license in Alaska](https://dentovio.com/foreign-trained-dentist-license/alaska/index.html.md) - [Alaska foreign-trained dentist residency pathway](https://dentovio.com/foreign-trained-dentist-license/alaska/residency-pathway/index.html.md) ## CE snapshot - Dentist: 32 contact hours / 2 years (biennial) - Dental hygienist: 20 contact hours / 2 years (biennial) - Dental assistant: No state CE requirement for dental assistants for renewal (coronal-polishing certificate renews Dec 31 of even years; DANB-certified assistants follow separate DANB annual CE renewal). ## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway accepted in lieu of a regional clinical exam. Under 12 AAC 28.940(a)(8)(D), an applicant may qualify by showing satisfactory completion of a clinically-based postdoctoral GPR or AEGD program of at least one year's duration in a CODA-accredited hospital/dental facility, with a formal evaluation of competence — as an alternative to a regional clinical examination or a 2-year CODA specialty program. However, the applicant must still hold a dental degree from a school meeting 12 AAC 28.938 and pass NBDE I & II or the iNBDE; whether a non-CODA foreign degree independently satisfies 12 AAC 28.938 should be verified with the board. ## References - - - - - - - - ## Related - [All dental boards by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/index.html.md) - [Online dental CE by state](https://dentovio.com/online-dental-ce/index.html.md) - [Dental license lookup by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/index.html.md) - [Dental license renewal by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/index.html.md) - [Dental CE requirements by state](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/index.html.md) - [Foreign-trained dentist licensure by state](https://dentovio.com/foreign-trained-dentist-licensure/index.html.md)
