License Renewals

****RENEW HERE****

All odd numbered licensees will renew in odd numbered years. All even numbered licensees will renew in even numbered years.  The license renewal period is from October 1 to December 1.

RENEWAL REMINDERS

1.  Continuing Education

All hygienists will need 30 hours of CE, including 1 hour of ethics, since the last renewal, or 15 hours if this is the first renewal.

You may acquire all CE hours online.  The Board automatically recognizes CE courses that have been approved through the American Dental Association Continuing Education Recognition Program (ADA CERP) or the Academy of General Dentistry Program Approval of Continuing Education (AGD PACE).  There has never been a limit for the number of CE hours acquired online.   

2.  CPR

All CPR courses must have a hands-on portion.  You may claim four (4) hours of CE for completing your CPR course.   

3.  Closing a License File

If you are retiring from practice or leaving Kansas and never intend to practice in Kansas again, you must inform the Board office in writing of your decision (dental.info@ks.gov).  Once the Board office is notified of your decision, your license file will be closed and your obligation to the Board is complete.    

4.  Changing License Status from Active to Retired

If you want to change your license from active to retired status, you must request a paper renewal form (dental.info@ks.gov).  When requesting the paper renewal form, you must explain why you need a copy of the form.

5.  Legal Questions

If you are required to answer "Yes" in response to any legal question, you must request a paper renewal form (dental.info@ks.gov).  When requesting the paper renewal form, you must explain why you need a copy of the form.
