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

## Direct answer

Kansas Dental Board is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Kansas. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Kansas CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 60 hours / 2 years; hygienists: 30 hours / 2 years.

- Dental hygienist: 30 hours / 2 years
- Dental assistant: No state CE requirement (Kansas Dental Board does not license dental assistants)

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

Advanced-standing / supplemental CODA education (board practice), NOT a clean residency pathway in statute. Statute K.S.A. 65-1426 requires graduation from a board-approved dental school (schools held to CODA-equivalent standards); a graduate of a NON-approved (foreign) school may qualify by successfully completing 'a course of remedial or refresher instruction' at a board-approved dental school/college — the statute sets no fixed duration. Kansas Dental Board application guidance and secondary sources indicate this is applied in practice as completing at least two years in a CODA-accredited U.S. dental program; whether a CODA postgraduate residency (GPR/AEGD) alone satisfies it (vs. an advanced-standing DDS/DMD supplemental program) is NOT clearly stated and must be confirmed with the Board.
