Dentovio is not the Georgia dental board. This is an independent educational directory; confirm final licensure, renewal, discipline, fee, form, and application decisions with the official board.

## Direct answer

Georgia Board of Dentistry is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Georgia. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Georgia CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 40 hours / 2 years (biennium; licenses expire Dec 31 of odd years); hygienists: 22 hours / 2 years.

## CE snapshot

- Dentist: 40 hours / 2 years (biennium; licenses expire Dec 31 of odd years)
- Dental hygienist: 22 hours / 2 years
- Dental assistant: 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)

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

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.
