Wyoming dental CPR/BLS requirements

For dental CPR/BLS requirements in Wyoming, Dentovio's sourced CE notes say: Current BLS certification is required IN ADDITION to the 16 hours ('BLS hours cannot count toward your 16 hour requirement'). Confirm current CPR, BLS, hands-on skills, provider, renewal-cycle, and audit rules with the Wyoming dental board before renewing.

Dentist CE

16 hours / 2 years (biennial)

Hygienist CE

16 hours / 2 years (biennial)

Assistant CE

No CE hour requirement stated for dental assistant permit holders (radiograph, pit-and-fissure sealant permits). Permits renew every 2 years in odd-numbered years; radiograph permits historically renewed annually per some sources. No CE hours specified by the Board's CE page.

CPR/BLS notes

  • Current BLS certification is required IN ADDITION to the 16 hours ('BLS hours cannot count toward your 16 hour requirement').

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 (2-year) renewal cycle for dentists and hygienists; renewal deadline December 31 with a grace period Jan 1–Mar 31. Of the 16 dentist hours, 3 hours MUST be on responsible prescribing of controlled substances (statutory mandate the Board cannot waive) — this is the opioid/controlled-substance component. Current BLS certification is required IN ADDITION to the 16 hours ('BLS hours cannot count toward your 16 hour requirement'). No separate mandated hours found for infection control or law/ethics/jurisprudence (these are listed only as acceptable subject areas). LIVE vs SELF-STUDY: no cap — 'You can take your CE in person or online. There is no limit regarding how many CE you may take online.' Evidence is attestation-only unless randomly selected for audit. Hygienists have the same 16/2yr requirement but no controlled-substance-prescribing mandate. Dental assistant CE not addressed on the CE page (see Chapter 7 board rules).
