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

## Direct answer

Oregon Board of Dentistry is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Oregon. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Oregon CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 40 hours / 2 years; hygienists: 24 hours / 2 years (Expanded Practice Dental Hygienist / EPDH: 36 hours / 2 years).

## CE snapshot

- Dentist: 40 hours / 2 years
- Dental hygienist: 24 hours / 2 years (Expanded Practice Dental Hygienist / EPDH: 36 hours / 2 years)
- Dental assistant: No state CE hour requirement for dental assistants (certificates such as EFDA/x-ray require initial competency courses, not periodic CE). N/A for periodic renewal CE.

## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal

CODA residency (GPR) pathway accepted (as an alternative to a CODA predoctoral program), but under Oregon's 'license without further examination' rule. A graduate of a dental school outside the U.S./Canada qualifies by completing EITHER (a) a predoctoral dental education program of not less than two years at a CODA-accredited school, OR (b) a postdoctoral General Dentistry Residency of not less than two years at a CODA-accredited school (OAR 818-021-0011). So a 2-year CODA GPR can substitute for repeating dental school — but this route also requires an active unrestricted out-of-state license plus 3,500 clinical practice hours in the preceding 5 years.
