Primary source: Idaho State 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.
Idaho's rulebook comes from the Idaho State Board of Dentistry, and the number that matters is 30 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).
Beyond the raw number, Idaho names specific obligations worth diarising:
- The rule caps self-study within the 30 — check the current split before planning a fully online cycle
Fitting free webinars into this: every major free platform in this directory issues certificates under ADA CERP or AGD PACE recognition. Spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month; block one recurring lunch hour for a free webinar and the cycle closes itself out.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do Idaho dentists need?
30 hours per biennial renewal, under the Idaho State Board of Dentistry. 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 Idaho?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (the rule caps self-study within the 30 — check the current split before planning a fully online cycle), 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 — Idaho’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.
