Assistant CE

N/A - Utah does not license or register dental assistants under the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Practice Act (R156-69), so there is no state-mandated CE requirement for dental assistants.

Foreign-trained dentist pathway

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Utah Code §58-69-302(1)(c) requires 'satisfactory documentation of having successfully completed a program of professional education preparing an individual as a dentist as evidenced by having received an earned doctor's degree in dentistry from a dental school accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.' The licensure statute contains no non-CODA or GPR/AEGD-residency alternative pathway for initial dentist licensure, so a foreign-trained dentist must obtain a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (advanced-standing program). (Note: a recent Utah immigrant-professional/endorsement initiative may create case-by-case flexibility, but that is not a codified foreign-graduate licensure route — verify current status with DOPL.)
