# Wisconsin dental board > Official board link and Dentovio's independent source-backed state references for Wisconsin dental CE, license renewal, and foreign-trained dentist pathways. URL: https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/wisconsin Last verified: 2026-07-08 Dentovio is not the Wisconsin dental board. This is an independent educational directory; confirm final licensure, renewal, discipline, fee, form, and application decisions with the official board. ## Direct answer Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board (Dept. of Safety and Professional Services) is the official dental board source Dentovio links for Wisconsin. Use the board link for final licensure decisions, and use Dentovio's independent page to jump to Wisconsin CE requirements, renewal notes, and foreign-trained dentist pathway references. CE snapshot: Dentists: 30 credit hours / 2 years; hygienists: 12 credit hours / 2 years. ## Official board links - Official board: - CE or renewal source used by Dentovio: ## Dentovio state references - [Wisconsin dental CE requirements](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin online dental CE](https://dentovio.com/online-dental-ce/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental license lookup](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental license renewal](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dental license renewal CE requirements](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/wisconsin/license-renewal/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin dentist CE requirements](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/wisconsin/dentist/index.html.md) - [Foreign-trained dentist license in Wisconsin](https://dentovio.com/foreign-trained-dentist-license/wisconsin/index.html.md) - [Wisconsin foreign-trained dentist residency pathway](https://dentovio.com/foreign-trained-dentist-license/wisconsin/residency-pathway/index.html.md) ## CE snapshot - Dentist: 30 credit hours / 2 years - Dental hygienist: 12 credit hours / 2 years - Dental assistant: Dental assistants are not licensed/regulated by the state, so no state CE requirement. EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary) certificate is permanent (no periodic renewal), but continuing education is required to maintain competency — verify current EFDA CE terms with DSPS. ## Foreign-trained dentist pathway signal Advanced-standing program required, NOT a standalone GPR/AEGD: under Wis. Admin. Code DE 2.01(1m)(d) a foreign dental school graduate must show EITHER (1) a DDS or DMD degree from an accredited (CODA) dental school, OR (2) a dental diploma/degree/certificate from a full-time, undergraduate SUPPLEMENTAL dental education program of AT LEAST TWO academic years at an accredited dental school providing didactic and clinical education to the level of a DDS/DMD graduate. The rule does NOT list a 1-year GPR/AEGD residency as a standalone licensure pathway (some secondary sources claiming an AEGD/GPR endorsement route appear inaccurate; the same 2-year-supplemental standard governs endorsement under DE 2.04). ## References - - - - - - - - - ## Related - [All dental boards by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-boards/index.html.md) - [Online dental CE by state](https://dentovio.com/online-dental-ce/index.html.md) - [Dental license lookup by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-lookup/index.html.md) - [Dental license renewal by state](https://dentovio.com/dental-license-renewal/index.html.md) - [Dental CE requirements by state](https://dentovio.com/ce-requirements/index.html.md) - [Foreign-trained dentist licensure by state](https://dentovio.com/foreign-trained-dentist-licensure/index.html.md)
