I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CE Broker to support mandated education requirements.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.

Additional information

How many CE hours do Tennessee dental hygienists need?

Tennessee dental hygienist CE totals 30 hours of continuing education every 2 years. Your license expires on the last day of your birth month, but the 30 hours must be earned within a fixed statewide block that runs January 1 of an odd-numbered year through December 31 of the following even-numbered year ( Tenn. Comp. R. and Regs. 0460-01-.05 ; Tennessee Board of Dentistry ). The current block ends December 31, 2026. Cover the online portion with the Tennessee dental hygienist CE package . Looking for a different license? See Tennessee dentist CE and Tennessee registered dental assistant CE .

Which CE topics are required for Tennessee dental hygienists?

Every hygienist completes 2 hours of chemical dependency education within the 30-hour total ( Tennessee Department of Health, Dentistry Licensure ). Every hygienist also maintains current CPR certification and the Board's Jurisprudence Exam at every renewal. Hygienists who want to administer local anesthesia or nitrous oxide, or perform restorative or prosthetic functions, first complete the matching Board-approved certification course, which is a one-time step ( 0460-03 ). A hygienist seeking Limited Prescriptive Authority completes a Board-approved prescribing course plus 2 hours of pharmacology CE after at least 1,600 hours of active practice.

Does Tennessee accept AGD PACE credit?

Tennessee requires Board-approved continuing education ( 0460-01-.05 ). AchieveCE is an AGD PACE approved provider (ID# 386503). Confirm that a specific course qualifies with the Tennessee Board of Dentistry , and contact us if you need the AGD PACE details for your records.

Does Tennessee use CE Broker?

Yes. Tennessee's dental board uses CE Broker, and AchieveCE reports your completions to CE Broker and AGD PACE within 24 business hours. Your certificate is available the moment you finish a course. The Board also audits at random every month, and you keep proof of attendance for 3 years from the end of the calendar year the course was completed ( Tennessee Department of Health, Dentistry Licensure ; CE Broker ). Our support team is on live chat, email, and phone, 7 days a week.

Do Tennessee dental hygienists need live CE?

Yes. Hygienists may earn no more than 50 percent of the 30 hours online or by home study, so at least 15 hours must be live or in person. A live interactive webinar counts as in person under a rule amendment effective July 1, 2022 ( Tennessee Board of Dentistry licensure page ; Tennessee Department of Health, Dentistry Licensure ). Use our online package for up to 15 hours, then add live CE through our live webinars and the Dentistry Advanced membership .
