Kansas dental license renewal
For dental license renewal in Kansas, use the official board for filing forms, fees, deadlines, and final instructions. Dentovio summarizes the renewal CE signals: dentists need 60 hours / 2 years; dental hygienists need 30 hours / 2 years; dental assistants: No state CE requirement (Kansas Dental Board does not license dental assistants). Renewal-cycle notes: Biennial (courses must be completed in the 24-month period immediately preceding license expiration). Dentists: min 2 hours in ethics; specialists must complete at least 40 of the 60 hours in their specialty. Hygienists: min 1 hour in ethics. All licensees must hold and submit a current 'Basic Cardiac Life Support for the Health Care Provider' (BLS/CPR) certificate from the American Heart Association or board-approved equivalent; up to 4 hours of CE credit may be claimed for a CPR course. No explicit infection control, jurisprudence, or opioid CE mandate found. No explicit self-study cap found. Per K.A.R. 71-4-1.

- Keep completion certificates and audit documentation for the period required by the board.
