New Hampshire dental CPR/BLS requirements
For dental CPR/BLS requirements in New Hampshire, Dentovio's sourced CE notes say: Dentists: 40 CEUs, at least 30 in clinical dental care (including a current BLS-HCP course). Hygienists: 20 CEUs, at least 15 clinical (including BLS-HCP). CPR/BLS must be current. Confirm current CPR, BLS, hands-on skills, provider, renewal-cycle, and audit rules with the New Hampshire dental board before renewing.
Hygienist CE
20 hours (CEUs) / 2 years
Assistant CE
No CE requirement in the state CE rule (Den 403.03) for dental assistants; the OPLC CE rule covers dentists and dental hygienists. (Certified/EFDA credential holders may face separate DANB credential-maintenance CE, not a state board mandate.)
CPR/BLS notes
- Dentists: 40 CEUs, at least 30 in clinical dental care (including a current BLS-HCP course).
- Hygienists: 20 CEUs, at least 15 clinical (including BLS-HCP).
- CPR/BLS must be current.
Before renewing
- Confirm whether the board requires CPR, BLS, or healthcare-provider BLS.
- Check whether an in-person or hands-on skills assessment is required.
- Verify whether CPR/BLS counts toward CE hours or is separate from CE.
- Keep cards, certificates, and audit records in the board-required format.

Full renewal-cycle note
Biennial cycle (renewals due by March 31; dentists renew in even years, hygienists in odd years), per N.H. Admin. Code Den 403.03. Dentists: 40 CEUs, at least 30 in clinical dental care (including a current BLS-HCP course). Hygienists: 20 CEUs, at least 15 clinical (including BLS-HCP). Mandatory for both: at least 2 CEUs infection control (CDC guidelines, live or online) and at least 2 CEUs medical-emergency training. DEA-registered licensees: 3 CEUs pain management/addiction (or pass an approved online exam). Credit: 1 CEU per lecture hour, 2 CEUs per hour of participatory clinical/lab course. CPR/BLS must be current. Excess hours do NOT carry forward. The official rule sets no explicit live-vs-self-study percentage cap (a 'half must be live' claim appears in some blogs but is not in Den 403.03 — treat as unverified).
