In Alaska, CE sits with the Alaska Board of Dental Examiners: the headline figure is 32 hours per biennial renewal — spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month (figures drawn from published summaries of the Board’s rules — always confirm current requirements with the Board before relying on them).
Watch the specifics as much as the total — Alaska's standing expectations:
- All 32 hours may be completed by distance or self-study
How free online courses slot in: the major free platforms in this directory publish under ADA CERP and AGD PACE recognition, which is the currency most state rules trade in. Spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month, so a regular free webinar slot in the diary carries the cycle comfortably.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do Alaska dentists need?
32 hours per biennial renewal, under the Alaska Board of Dental Examiners. Format and category parameters sit in the Board’s rule — confirm the current text before relying on a plan.
Do free online courses count in Alaska?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (all 32 hours may be completed by distance or self-study), and the free certificated platforms in this directory can carry a large share of a biennial cycle.
Is CPR required?
Most boards expect current CPR/BLS certification as a standing matter — Alaska’s current rule text is the place to confirm the exact wording and format before your renewal.
Do I submit certificates at renewal?
Generally you attest at renewal and keep records for audit — one dated folder of certificates per year is the system that survives an audit letter. Check whether your board uses CE Broker or its own reporting portal.
