Kansas dentist CE requirements

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

What the board requires

  • 60 hrsTotal per biennial cycle.
  • 2 hrsEthics (at least 2 of the 60 hours), counted within the total.
  • Up to 10 hrsLecturing/presenting/teaching credit capped at 10 hours (regulation says annually; cycle is 24 months - see EXTRACTION FLAGS).
  • Up to 20 hrsAuthorship credit capped: 10 hours per article, 20 hours per book (ceiling set to 20).
  • RequiredCurrent AHA Basic Cardiac Life Support for the Health Care Provider certificate (or board-approved equivalent) must be submitted with each renewal. Per K.A.R. 71-4-1 the BLS course hours MAY be applied toward the 60-hour CE total, so unlike most states these hours are not strictly non-counting; the certificate itself remains a mandatory credential. (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 Kansas calculator. We would rather leave it out than guess. Confirm the exact requirements with Kansas Dental Board.

Common questions

How many CE hours do Kansas dentists need?

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

Which specific topics does Kansas require?

2 hours ethics (at least 2 of the 60 hours). These count inside the total, not on top of it. Not confirmed against Kansas Dental Board yet.

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

Yes: lecturing/presenting/teaching credit capped at 10 hours (regulation says annually; cycle is 24 months - see EXTRACTION FLAGS) (up to 10 hours); authorship credit capped: 10 hours per article, 20 hours per book (ceiling set to 20) (up to 20 hours). Not confirmed against Kansas Dental Board yet.

Does Kansas require anything besides CE hours?

Yes: current AHA Basic Cardiac Life Support for the Health Care Provider certificate (or board-approved equivalent) must be submitted with each renewal. Per K.A.R. 71-4-1 the BLS course hours MAY be applied toward the 60-hour CE total, so unlike most states these hours are not strictly non-counting; the certificate itself remains a mandatory credential. That is a credential you hold, not CE hours you count. Not confirmed against Kansas Dental Board yet.

Can CEChart track my Kansas CE automatically?

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

Source: Kansas Dental Board (https://www.dental.ks.gov/dentists/license-renewals). These are the published requirements as we read them, not legal or board advice, and CEChart does not certify compliance. Confirm your requirements with Kansas Dental Board before you rely on them.
