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

## Direct answer

Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Nevada. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Nevada CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 40 hours / 2 years (20 hrs annually); hygienists: 30 hours / 2 years (15 hrs annually).

## CE snapshot

- Dentist: 40 hours / 2 years (20 hrs annually)
- Dental hygienist: 30 hours / 2 years (15 hrs annually)
- Dental assistant: No CE for basic dental assistants. Expanded Function Dental Assistants (EFDAs): CE is a condition of renewal (secondary sources cite ~50 hrs over a 5-year cycle, min 30 classroom) — verify exact figure with the board. Dental therapists: 40 hrs/2 yrs (18 hrs annually).

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. NRS 631.230 requires the applicant to be 'a graduate of an accredited dental school or college'; NRS 631.015 defines 'accredited' as approved by CODA. No statutory pathway for a non-accredited/foreign graduate to gain full licensure via a CODA residency — a foreign grad must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD. (Nevada is also non-reciprocity.)
