Hawaii dental board
Hawaii Board of Dentistry (DCCA-PVL) is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Hawaii. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Hawaii CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 32 hours / 2 years (biennium; renewal by Dec 31 of odd years); hygienists: 20 hours / 2 years.

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Hawaii Board FAQ (rev. 07.16.25) states only CODA-accredited DDS or DMD degrees are acceptable for dentist (DT) licensure, and that 'Completion of an advanced dental education program at a CODA accredited dental college is NOT acceptable in lieu of a DDS or DMD degree.' A foreign (non-CODA) graduate must therefore earn a CODA DDS/DMD via a US advanced-standing program. No residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway.
