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

## Direct answer

New York State Board for Dentistry (NYSED Office of the Professions) is the official dental board source Dentovio links for New York. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to New York CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 60 contact hours / 3 years (triennial registration); hygienists: 24 contact hours / 3 years (triennial registration).

## CE snapshot

- Dentist: 60 contact hours / 3 years (triennial registration)
- Dental hygienist: 24 contact hours / 3 years (triennial registration)
- Dental assistant: No state CE requirement — NY does not license/register 'dental assistants' as a CE-bearing profession (certified dental assisting is regulated separately and lacks a triennial CE mandate like dentists/hygienists)

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD required — a residency does NOT replace dental school. A graduate of an unaccredited/unregistered foreign dental school must complete not less than two academic years of study in a registered/CODA-accredited dental school program (advanced-standing) and earn the DDS/DMD. Note: NY also requires ALL initial licensees (including U.S. grads) to complete an approved dental residency of at least one year, but for foreign grads this 1-year residency is IN ADDITION to the 2-year advanced-standing program, not a substitute for it.
