Minnesota dentist CE requirements

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

What the board requires

  • 50 hrsTotal per biennial cycle.
  • 0 hrsInfection control course (mandatory each biennial cycle; rule assigns no specific hour count), counted within the total.
  • RequiredCurrent CPR certification (Healthcare Provider level BLS per board policy) must be maintained consecutively and current each biennium; does not count toward the 50 CE hours (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 Minnesota calculator. We would rather leave it out than guess. Confirm the exact requirements with Minnesota Board of Dentistry.

Common questions

How many CE hours do Minnesota 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 Minnesota Board of Dentistry, so check it with the board before you rely on it.

Which specific topics does Minnesota require?

infection control course (mandatory each biennial cycle; rule assigns no specific hour count), required with no hour count set. These count inside the total, not on top of it. Not confirmed against Minnesota Board of Dentistry yet.

Does Minnesota require anything besides CE hours?

Yes: current CPR certification (Healthcare Provider level BLS per board policy) must be maintained consecutively and current each biennium; does not count toward the 50 CE hours. That is a credential you hold, not CE hours you count. Not confirmed against Minnesota Board of Dentistry yet.

Can CEChart track my Minnesota CE automatically?

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

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