Assistant CE

No CE requirement for basic dental assistants. Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA) permit renewal requires CE tied to the permit (commonly cited as ~16 hours per cycle, with BLS counting toward it) — confirm exact figure with the board.

Foreign-trained dentist pathway

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. RSMo 332.131 requires the applicant to be 'a graduate of and has a degree in dentistry from an accredited dental school.' A foreign (non-CODA) graduate qualifies for examination and registration only if their school is ADA/CODA-certified; a non-accredited grad must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (advanced-standing programs exist in-state at UMKC and ATSU/MOSDOH). No statutory pathway to full licensure via a CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone.
