Assistant CE

No CE requirement in the state CE rule (Den 403.03) for dental assistants; the OPLC CE rule covers dentists and dental hygienists. (Certified/EFDA credential holders may face separate DANB credential-maintenance CE, not a state board mandate.)

Assistant CE page

Foreign-trained dentist pathway

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. NH requires graduation from a CODA-recognized DMD/DDS program. Per NH rules (Den 301/302), an applicant educated outside the U.S. whose original program was NOT ADA/CODA-approved must graduate from a CODA-accredited general dentistry program of at least 2 years' duration (i.e., an advanced-standing DDS/DMD from a U.S./Canadian CODA program). A CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) alone does not satisfy the degree requirement.
