No general CE requirement for basic dental assistants; DA II must maintain CPR and complete CE as needed to retain expanded functions
Assistant CE pageCODA residency (advanced dental education) pathway ACCEPTED. Under 21 NCAC 16B .0501 (licensure by credentials), an applicant who graduated with a certificate or degree from a CODA-accredited ADVANCED DENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM (e.g., GPR, AEGD, or a CODA specialty program) satisfies the educational credentials requirement — a foreign (non-CODA) graduate does NOT have to repeat a full CODA DDS/DMD. (The alternative traditional route also exists: complete at least two years in a CODA-accredited dental school and earn a DDS/DMD, then pass Board-approved exams.)
