## Renewal CE snapshot

- Dentists: 30 hours / 2 years (biennium)
- Dental hygienists: 24 hours / 2 years (biennium)
- Dental assistants: No CE requirement — Florida does not license or register dental assistants generally, and no CE is required (radiography/expanded-function certificates are training-based, not CE-hour based)
