Primary source: Florida Board of Dentistry — official site. Requirements on this page are summarised from the Board's published rules — always confirm the current rules at the source.
In Florida, CE sits with the Florida Board of Dentistry: the headline figure is 30 hours per biennial renewal. The detail that matters most for readers of this directory is the delivery rule: all 30 may be completed by home study/online. The figures here reflect commonly published summaries of the rules; requirements change, so verify against the Board’s current guidance before you plan a full cycle.
Beyond the raw number, Florida names specific obligations worth diarising:
- 2 hours in prevention of medical errors each cycle
- 2 hours in domestic violence once every third renewal cycle
How free online courses slot in: the Board recognises Board-approved providers; ADA CERP and AGD PACE recognition widely accepted; hours are tracked in CE Broker, which covers most providers in this directory — so a certificated free webinar is creditable CE with a proper paper trail. Compliance is attestation-based: CE Broker records are checked at renewal. Log each course the day you finish it with the free CE tracker (set the US preset to your cycle), and see the US CE guide for the national picture.
