Common questions

How many CE hours do Arkansas dentists need?

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

Which specific topics does Arkansas require?

1 hour infection control. These count inside the total, not on top of it. Not confirmed against Arkansas State Board of Dental Examiners yet.

Does Arkansas require anything besides CE hours?

Can CEChart track my Arkansas CE automatically?

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