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.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI 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.
Verified reviewI 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.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Verified reviewEnjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
Verified reviewState requirements for Tennessee Registered Dental Assistants
All Tennessee Registered Dental Assistants Need (every renewal):
2 Hours Chemical Dependency CE
Current CPR certification (Must Be Maintained, Not Hour-Based)
Tennessee Board of Dentistry Jurisprudence Exam (offered by the Board, Must Be Maintained, Not Hour-Based)
Some Tennessee Dental Assistants Also Need:
12 Hours DANB Continuing Dental Education - If Holding DANB Certification (Required for DANB Certification, Not State-Mandated)
Finish your 24 hours with the Tennessee dental assistant CE package .
How many CE hours do Tennessee registered dental assistants need?
Tennessee registered dental assistant CE totals 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years. Registration expires on the last day of your birth month, but the 24 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. An assistant who works strictly under a dentist's direct chairside supervision, without registering for expanded functions, has no state CE requirement. Finish all 24 online with the Tennessee dental assistant CE package . Looking for a different license? See Tennessee dentist CE and Tennessee dental hygienist CE .
Which CE topics are required for Tennessee registered dental assistants?
Every registered dental assistant completes 2 hours of chemical dependency education within the 24-hour total ( 0460-01-.05 ). Every registered assistant also maintains current CPR certification and the Board's Jurisprudence Exam. An assistant with DANB certification separately owes DANB 12 CDE credits every year, including 1 credit on the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and 2 on infection prevention, control and safety, which is a DANB requirement and not a Tennessee mandate ( DANB ).
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. DANB keeps its own CDE and CPR records for 2 years ( Tennessee Department of Health, Dentistry Licensure ; CE Broker ). Our support team is on live chat, email, and phone, 7 days a week.
Do newly registered Tennessee dental assistants need CE for their first renewal?
No. A newly registered dental assistant is exempt from the continuing education requirement during the first 2-year cycle ( 0460-01-.05(1)(d) ). Tennessee sets no live or in-person minimum for dental assistants, so all 24 hours can be completed online ( Tennessee Department of Health, Dentistry Licensure ).
