All dentists and hygienists licenses expire by December 31st of odd-numbered years. Dental assistants expire by December 31st of even-numbered years. Renewal notices are sent by email around October/November of the renewal year for your license. You cannot practice without a current license. It is your responsibility to renew your license even if you do not receive a notice. It is your responsibility to ensure the Board has your current contact information, including email address, on file.
Notice regarding license certificates: A confirmation notice will be sent via email once your renewal is approved by the Board. Approval is done at least once a week. The renewed license can then be verified on the Board's Verification & Roster page. You do not need the email to print the license certificate or verify the license.
If even if you recently became licensed or registered, you will still need to renew your license.
License Status - If you are uncertain of your licensure status, please use the Verification & Roster to verify your license. It is illegal to practice dentistry, dental hygiene, or provide dental assisting expanded duties without a license or registration.
