New Hampshire online dental CE
For online dental CE in New Hampshire, Dentovio's sourced CE notes say: Mandatory for both: at least 2 CEUs infection control (CDC guidelines, live or online) and at least 2 CEUs medical-emergency training. DEA-registered licensees: 3 CEUs pain management/addiction (or pass an approved online exam). The official rule sets no explicit live-vs-self-study percentage cap (a 'half must be live' claim appears in some blogs but is not in Den 403. Confirm current live, webinar, correspondence, home-study, and self-study caps with the New Hampshire dental board before enrolling.
