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

Common questions

How many CE hours do South Dakota dentists need?

100 hours per quinquennial (5-year CE licensure cycle; license renewed annually by July 1) renewal cycle. That is what CEChart has on file from the source cited on this page, not a figure confirmed against South Dakota State Board of Dentistry, so check it with the board before you rely on it.

Are there limits on how South Dakota dentists can earn CE hours?

Yes: home study / self-directed continuing education (up to 30 hours). Not confirmed against South Dakota State Board of Dentistry yet.

Does South Dakota require anything besides CE hours?

Yes: current Healthcare Provider level CPR/BLS card must be maintained as a condition of renewal (AHA Healthcare Provider BLS, American Red Cross Professional Rescuer, or board-approved equivalent, with a hands-on skills assessment); the card itself does not count as CE hours. That is a credential you hold, not CE hours you count. Not confirmed against South Dakota State Board of Dentistry yet.

Can CEChart track my South Dakota CE automatically?

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

These are the published requirements as we read them, not legal or board advice, and CEChart does not certify compliance.
