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

## Direct answer

Idaho State Board of Dentistry (DOPL) is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Idaho. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Idaho CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 30 hours / 2 years (biennium); hygienists: 30 hours / 2 years (biennium).

## CE snapshot

- Dentist: 30 hours / 2 years (biennium)
- Dental hygienist: 30 hours / 2 years (biennium)
- Dental assistant: No state CE requirement in the board rule (dental assistants are trained and directly supervised, not separately licensed/registered by the Board; the rule imposes CDC infection-control compliance but no assistant CE hours). Note: some third-party sites cite a 60-hr/5-yr figure, which is NOT reflected in the official Idaho rule 24.31.01 — treat as unverified.

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Idaho Admin Code 24.31.01.100.01 requires applicants to furnish proof of graduation from a program in dentistry accredited by CODA at the time of the applicant's graduation; Idaho Statute 54-915(2) requires a DDS/DMD from a board-accepted/approved dental school. A foreign (non-CODA) graduate must complete a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (advanced-standing) program. No CODA-residency-in-lieu-of-degree pathway for general licensure.
