CE Units Required
For the purposes of renewal of a license or permit, the following total CE units are required:
| License Type | Number of Required CE Units |
|---|---|
| Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), Registered Dental Hygienist in Extended Functions (RDHEF) | 25 (including the required mandatory coursework) |
| Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice (RDHAP) | 35 (including the required mandatory coursework) |
Pertaining to licensees holding more than one license or permit, the license or permit that requires the largest number of CE units for renewal shall equal or exceed the licensee’s full license renewal requirement. Dual licensure, or licensure with permit, shall not require duplication of CE requirements. As an example, if a licensee maintains both an RDH and RDHAP licenses, they are only responsible to complete 35 CE hours to renew both licenses, as this number is the required number of CE units to renew the RDHAP license every two years.
