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

## Direct answer

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

## CE snapshot

- Dentist: 30 hours / 2 years
- Dental hygienist: 30 hours / 2 years
- Dental assistant: No state CE requirement for dental assistants (172 NAC ch. 57 addresses licensed dentists and dental hygienists).

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Neb. Rev. Stat. 38-1117 requires 'proof of graduation with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree or a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from an accredited school or college of dentistry.' No alternative for non-accredited/foreign graduates is provided; a foreign grad must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (UNMC operates a 29-month advanced-standing program). Residency (postgraduate) licenses under 38-1123 require enrollment in an ACCREDITED school, so a CODA residency does not substitute for the accredited-degree requirement for full licensure.
