# Dental CPR and BLS CE requirements by state

> Source-backed state signals for cpr/bls within dental continuing-education renewal notes.

URL: https://dentovio.com/mandatory-dental-ce-requirements/cpr-bls

Last verified: 2026-07-08

Dentovio is not a dental board and does not approve CE courses. Treat this as a planning index of signals extracted from Dentovio's sourced CE notes; confirm current course-hour, provider, audit, renewal, and role-specific rules with the state dental board.

## Direct answer

Dentovio has a dedicated CPR/BLS directory and this mandatory CE hub also flags state renewal notes that mention CPR, BLS, AED, hands-on, or healthcare-provider language. The dental board controls whether a course counts and whether CPR/BLS is separate from CE hours.

## State coverage

Dentovio isolated this signal in 48 U.S. jurisdictions. Absence from this table does not mean the state has no related rule; it means Dentovio did not isolate that signal in the sourced CE note excerpt.
