  • Up to 20 hrsPublishing, presenting, and lecturing (no more than 50% of required hours).

One honest caveat. We have not yet confirmed every number against the primary board source, so we are not running an automatic Oklahoma calculator. We would rather leave it out than guess. Confirm the exact requirements with Oklahoma Board of Dentistry.

Common questions

How many CE hours do Oklahoma dentists need?

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

Which specific topics does Oklahoma require?

2 hours opioid and scheduled drug prescribing class; 1 hour ethics class approved by the Board (no statutory hour count; figure is a conservative floor placeholder). These count inside the total, not on top of it. Not confirmed against Oklahoma Board of Dentistry yet.

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

Yes: online / non-interactive remote study (no more than 20 of the 40 hours online) (up to 20 hours); publishing, presenting, and lecturing (no more than 50% of required hours) (up to 20 hours). Not confirmed against Oklahoma Board of Dentistry yet.

Does Oklahoma require anything besides CE hours?

Yes: live, in-person BLS/CPR class approved by the Board with hands-on compression, required each 2-year cycle (full-online CPR not accepted; note: unlike most states its hours COUNT toward the 40-hour total). That is a credential you hold, not CE hours you count. Not confirmed against Oklahoma Board of Dentistry yet.

Can CEChart track my Oklahoma CE automatically?

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

Source: Oklahoma Board of Dentistry (https://oklahoma.gov/dentistry/continuing-education.html). These are the published requirements as we read them, not legal or board advice, and CEChart does not certify compliance. Confirm your requirements with Oklahoma Board of Dentistry before you rely on them.
