Alaska Board of Dental Examiners

Alaska dentist CE requirements

The published continuing-education requirements for a Alaska dental license, laid out clearly so you can see the whole picture before your renewal.

What the board requires

  • 32 hrsTotal per biennial cycle.
  • 2 hrsPain management and opioid use and addiction (mandatory only for licensees holding a valid federal DEA registration number), counted within the total.
  • Up to 8 hrsInternet CE limited to 8 hours per 24-hour period (rolling per-day cap, not a per-cycle total; all 32 hours may still be earned online across multiple days).
  • RequiredCurrent CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) certification meeting 12 AAC 28.920 must be held for renewal; it is a required credential and does not itself count as CE, though no more than 4 hours of CPR training may count toward the 32-hour total (does not count toward CE hours).
One honest caveat. We have not yet confirmed every number against the primary board source, so we are not running an automatic Alaska calculator. We would rather leave it out than guess. Confirm the exact requirements with Alaska Board of Dental Examiners.

Common questions

How many CE hours do Alaska dentists need?

32 hours per biennial renewal cycle. That is what CEChart has on file from the source cited on this page, not a figure confirmed against Alaska Board of Dental Examiners, so check it with the board before you rely on it.

Which specific topics does Alaska require?

2 hours pain management and opioid use and addiction (mandatory only for licensees holding a valid federal DEA registration number). These count inside the total, not on top of it. Not confirmed against Alaska Board of Dental Examiners yet.

Are there limits on how Alaska dentists can earn CE hours?

Yes: internet CE limited to 8 hours per 24-hour period (rolling per-day cap, not a per-cycle total; all 32 hours may still be earned online across multiple days) (up to 8 hours). Not confirmed against Alaska Board of Dental Examiners yet.

Does Alaska require anything besides CE hours?

Yes: current CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) certification meeting 12 AAC 28.920 must be held for renewal; it is a required credential and does not itself count as CE, though no more than 4 hours of CPR training may count toward the 32-hour total. That is a credential you hold, not CE hours you count. Not confirmed against Alaska Board of Dental Examiners yet.

Can CEChart track my Alaska CE automatically?

Not yet. We show the Alaska requirements and their sources, but we do not run an automatic Alaska calculator until every number is confirmed against Alaska Board of Dental Examiners.

These are the published requirements as we read them, not legal or board advice, and CEChart does not certify compliance.
