Common questions

How many CE hours do Montana dentists need?

60 hours per triennial renewal cycle. That is what CEChart has on file from the source cited on this page, not a figure confirmed against Montana Board of Dentistry (Department of Labor and Industry, Business Standards Division), so check it with the board before you rely on it.

Does Montana require anything besides CE hours?

Yes: current CPR, ACLS, or PALS card must be maintained at all times; internet courses accepted only if a hands-on evaluation of clinical competency is included. Does not count toward CE hours. That is a credential you hold, not CE hours you count. Not confirmed against Montana Board of Dentistry (Department of Labor and Industry, Business Standards Division) yet.

Can CEChart track my Montana CE automatically?

Not yet. We show the Montana requirements and their sources, but we do not run an automatic Montana calculator until every number is confirmed against Montana Board of Dentistry (Department of Labor and Industry, Business Standards Division).
