30 hours / 2 years

CPR/BLS notes

Dentovio did not isolate a specific CPR, BLS, Basic Life Support, AED, or hands-on skills statement in the sourced CE notes for this jurisdiction. Confirm the current CPR/BLS renewal rule directly with the state dental board before relying on a course.

Before renewing

  1. Confirm whether the board requires CPR, BLS, or healthcare-provider BLS.
  2. Check whether an in-person or hands-on skills assessment is required.
  3. Verify whether CPR/BLS counts toward CE hours or is separate from CE.
  4. Keep cards, certificates, and audit records in the board-required format.

Full renewal-cycle note

Biennial renewal via VT Office of Professional Regulation. Dentist: 30 hrs every 2 yrs; all may be completed by home/self-study (self-study courses must conclude with an examination to be accepted). A course in emergency office procedures is required as a condition of every biennial renewal for BOTH dentists and hygienists (only one emergency-procedures course may count toward the hour total). Hygienist: 18 hrs every 2 yrs, of which 15 must be in clinical or didactic dental/dental-hygiene subject areas. No CE reporting is required at the first renewal after initial licensure. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES: dentists who prescribe/dispense controlled substances must complete 2 hrs on controlled substances every 2 yrs — this derives from VT's separate opioid/OPR prescriber rule, NOT from the Board of Dental Examiners CE rule (Ch. 080), so treat as MEDIUM confidence and verify on the OPR page. No dedicated infection-control or law/ethics hour mandate found in the board CE rule.
