Common questions
How many CE hours do Wyoming dentists need?
16 hours per biennial renewal cycle, according to Wyoming Board of Dental Examiners.
Which specific topics does Wyoming require?
3 hours responsible prescribing of controlled substances. These count inside the total, not on top of it.
Does Wyoming require anything besides CE hours?
Yes: basic Life Support (BLS/Healthcare Provider CPR) must be current; it is in addition to the 16 CE hours and BLS hours do NOT count toward the 16-hour requirement. That is a credential you hold, not CE hours you count.
Can CEChart track my Wyoming CE automatically?
Yes. CEChart counts your Wyoming CE hours against the published requirement and shows how many hours are left before your renewal.
Source: Wyoming Board of Dental Examiners (https://dental.wyo.gov/licensing/ce). Wyoming dentists complete 16 hours of continuing education each two-year cycle, which runs from 1 January of an even year through 31 December of the following odd year. Unused hours do not carry over. Of the 16, at least 3 must cover responsible prescribing of controlled substances. Current BLS or healthcare-provider CPR must be kept up to date separately, and those hours do not count toward the 16. These are the published requirements as we read them, not legal or board advice, and CEChart does not certify compliance. Confirm your requirements with Wyoming Board of Dental Examiners before you rely on them.
