Full renewal-cycle note

ANNUAL renewal for both dentists (18VAC60-21-250) and dental hygienists (18VAC60-25-190): minimum 15 hrs of approved CE each year (no CE required for the first renewal after initial licensure). Excess hours may be carried to the next renewal year up to 15 hrs. CPR/BLS: both must MAINTAIN current hands-on healthcare-provider CPR/BLS certification (not counted as CE hours). SEDATION: a dentist (or hygienist) who administers/monitors general anesthesia, deep or moderate sedation must complete 4 hrs every 2 yrs of related CE. Up to 3 hrs/yr may be earned via uncompensated volunteer dental/hygiene services. Audio/video presentations are permitted with NO explicit live-vs-self-study cap. No dedicated infection-control, opioid, or jurisprudence hour mandate is set in the CE regulation (VA satisfies jurisprudence via a required exam at initial licensure, not ongoing CE).
