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

## Direct answer

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

## CE snapshot

- Dentist: 30 hours / 2 years (biennial)
- Dental hygienist: 20 hours / 2 years (biennial)
- Dental assistant: Dental X-ray Machine Operator (formerly Dental Assistant Radiographer): 2 hours / 2 years in dental x-ray/radiation technology. EFDAs (Expanded Function Dental Auxiliaries) have NO CE requirement to maintain registration.

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

CODA residency (GPR/AEGD) pathway accepted. A foreign-trained (non-CODA) dentist does NOT have to repeat dental school: completing a minimum two years of clinical training in general dentistry in a CODA-accredited General Practice Residency (GPR) OR Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program substitutes for the CODA dental-school degree requirement (Ohio Admin. Code 4715-18-01). An advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD is one route but is NOT required.
