Detailed Breakdown

Iowa Dentist Standard Renewal Requirements: Iowa dentists must complete 30 CE hours every two years within the Sept 1–Aug 31 cycle, including 1 hour each in infection control and Iowa jurisprudence, plus targeted hours if you prescribe opioids (1 hour) or hold a sedation permit (6 hours). Self-study is limited to 12 hours; CPR is required for renewal and can count for up to 3 CE hours. See the state’s official CE pages for full details and the current 2024–2026 reporting window.

---

  • Live / "In-Person" Hour Minimum: Iowa caps self-study at 12 hours per renewal period; the remainder (up to 18 hours) must be non-self-study (e.g., live/interactive or other approved activities; real-time webinars are not counted as self-study).

---

  • First-time renewal: The Board may grant individual extensions or exemptions for the period following original issuance (first Iowa renewal), upon written request.

---

  • Sedation: A sedation permit is required to administer moderate sedation, deep sedation, or general anesthesia, and permit holders must complete 6 CE hours in sedation each biennium.

---

  • Dispensing: Dentists who procure, stock, prescribe, administer, or dispense controlled substances in Iowa must hold an Iowa Controlled Substances Act (CSA) registration and (when applicable) register with the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) as part of the CSA process.
