Primary source: Georgia 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.

For Georgia the Georgia Board of Dentistry is the authority, and 40 hours per biennial renewal is the figure to plan around. The Board distinguishes between delivery formats and caps the share you can complete by self-instruction, so an all-online cycle needs checking against the current split before you plan around it (figures drawn from published summaries of the Board’s rules — always confirm current requirements with the Board before relying on them).

Alongside the headline hours, keep these standing expectations on your radar:

• Current CPR/BLS certification maintained throughout the licence period
• The Board publishes named-topic and format rules from time to time — check its current CE rule before finalising a cycle plan

How free online courses slot in: courses from ADA CERP and AGD PACE-recognised providers are widely accepted, which covers most of the major free platforms in this directory — CDEWorld, Viva Learning, Dentalcare.com and the manufacturer academies. Bank the lecture-format and certificated hours free, and keep any hands-on or in-person components for the balance the rules require.

Frequently asked questions

How many CE hours do Georgia dentists need?

40 hours per biennial renewal, under the Georgia Board of Dentistry. Format splits and any named topics are set by the Board — confirm the current rule text before relying on a plan.

Do free online courses count in Georgia?

Yes, within the format rules: the Board caps the self-instruction share of the 40 hours, so free certificated online courses can cover a substantial portion but usually not the entire cycle. ADA CERP and AGD PACE recognition is the practical quality bar.

Is CPR required?

Yes — maintaining current CPR/BLS certification is a standing expectation for Georgia licensees, separate from planning your CE topic mix.

Do I submit certificates at renewal?

Generally no — you attest at renewal and produce records if audited. Keep every certificate (name, provider, date, hours) in one folder per cycle and renewal becomes a five-minute job.
