No state CE requirement (dental assistants/EDDAs are not separately licensed; EDDA requires one-time board-approved training, e.g. 12 hrs per Rule 150-9-.02, plus BLS-CPR if assisting with sedation)
Assistant CE pageForeign-trained dentist pathway
Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Per GA Rule 150-3-.04, a graduate of a NON-accredited (foreign, non-CODA) dental school must show proof of successful completion, as a full-time student, of the last two years of a pre-doctoral program at an ADA/CODA-accredited dental school (i.e., a US advanced-standing DDS/DMD program), plus certification from that school's dean of equivalent didactic and clinical competency. A CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone is NOT sufficient in lieu of the pre-doctoral degree.
