Continuing Education
Attention Virginia Dentists and Dental Hygienists: The Board of Dentistry has granted an automatic extension of continuing competency renewal requirements for a period of 6 months after the renewal deadline for any renewal due by March 31, 2020. You are encouraged to complete continuing education hours on-line before the renewal deadline, if possible. (Per the Board’s Dental and Dental Hygiene Regulations, CE credit may be earned for verifiable participation in audio and video presentations. Up to two (2) hours of CE may be earned by volunteer service – 3 hours of service for 1 hour of CE credit.) However, the continuing education hours you complete during this extension in order to satisfy the current renewal period cannot be used towards the next renewal period. You will not be able to double count the CE hours for the next renewal period. For more information, please visit https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/dentistry/.
