Assistant CE

No general state CE requirement for dental assistants; radiography-permit holders must complete a board-approved radiography course before operating certain machines/renewing the radiography permit and hold Healthcare-Provider CPR. DANB-certified assistants follow separate DANB annual CE renewal.

Foreign-trained dentist pathway

CODA residency/advanced-education pathway accepted (no full repeat of dental school required). Under the board's Article IX (Credentials for Foreign Trained Dentists), a graduate of a non-CODA foreign dental school qualifies by EITHER (Option B) completing at least two predoctoral academic/clinical years at a CODA-accredited dental school, OR (Option C) successfully completing a 2-year CODA-accredited advanced education program in general dentistry (AEGD/GPR) or an ADA-recognized specialty. A 2-year GPR/AEGD residency at a CODA school therefore satisfies the education requirement without redoing the DDS/DMD.
