Primary source: Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners — official site. Requirements on this page are summarised from the Board's published rules — always confirm the current rules at the source.
In Arizona, CE sits with the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners: the headline figure is 72 hours per triennial renewal — the largest single number on this site’s state guides, but over three years it’s 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 — Arizona's standing expectations:
- Current CPR/BLS certification maintained throughout the cycle
- The Board’s rule sets category and format parameters within the 72 hours — check the current text before finalising a three-year plan
Where this directory helps: recognised-provider courses (ADA CERP, AGD PACE) are the practical standard, covering the major free platforms here. Seventy-two hours sounds heavy until you treat it as a monthly rhythm — two free lunchtime webinars a month retires the cycle with hours to spare and nothing spent.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do Arizona dentists need?
72 hours per triennial renewal cycle, under the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners. Category and format parameters sit in the Board’s rule — confirm the current text before relying on a plan.
Do free online courses count in Arizona?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are broadly accepted within the rule’s format parameters, and the free certificated platforms in this directory can carry the bulk of a cycle.
Is CPR required?
Yes — maintaining current CPR/BLS certification is a standing expectation for Arizona licensees across the cycle.
Do I submit certificates at renewal?
Generally no — you attest at renewal and keep records for audit. Three years of certificates in one dated folder per year is the system that survives an audit letter.
