Dental hygienist
30 hours / 2 years (biennium)
Dental hygienist online CE notesDental assistant
No state CE requirement in the board rule (dental assistants are trained and directly supervised, not separately licensed/registered by the Board; the rule imposes CDC infection-control compliance but no assistant CE hours). Note: some third-party sites cite a 60-hr/5-yr figure, which is NOT reflected in the official Idaho rule 24.31.01 — treat as unverified.
Dental assistant online CE notesBefore choosing online CE
- Confirm whether live webinars count differently from self-paced online courses.
- Check any cap on correspondence, home-study, self-study, or asynchronous hours.
- Verify the course provider is accepted by the board for your license type.
- Keep certificates and completion records in the format required for audit.

Full renewal-cycle note
Biennial. Per official IDAPA 24.31.01 sec. 100.06, an active-status licensee must report 30 oral-health/health-related CE hour credits per biennium (verifiable CE or volunteer practice) — this same 30-hr figure applies to both dentists and dental hygienists. Renewal timing differs: dentists renew by Sept 30 of even-numbered years; dental hygienists by March 31 of odd-numbered years (Idaho Code 54-920). BLS certification must be maintained (initial applicants show proof; practicing licensees must keep current). All licensees and dental assistants must comply with current CDC infection-control guidelines (PPE, sterilization, weekly spore testing). Board rule specifies NO in-person vs self-study cap and no separately itemized topic-hour mandate beyond BLS/infection control. Idaho has a written jurisprudence exam at licensure (not a recurring CE item).
