## 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).
