Dentist CE

State CPR/BLS
Utah dental CPR/BLS requirements
For dental CPR/BLS requirements in Utah, Dentovio's sourced CE notes say: CPR: current CPR-BLS (or ACLS/PALS as required by permit classification) required for renewal, but recertification hours do NOT count toward the 30. Confirm current CPR, BLS, hands-on skills, provider, renewal-cycle, and audit rules with the Utah dental board before renewing.
Hygienist CE
30 hours / 2 years
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.
CPR/BLS notes
- CPR: current CPR-BLS (or ACLS/PALS as required by permit classification) required for renewal, but recertification hours do NOT count toward the 30.
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.
