Primary source: Minnesota 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 Minnesota, CE sits with the Minnesota Board of Dentistry: the headline figure is 50 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).
The total is only half the story; these standing expectations sit alongside it:
- Core-topic coverage is expected across the cycle — infection control, ethics, patient communication, record keeping, managing medical emergencies, and diagnosis and treatment planning
- Self-study and online formats are broadly accepted within the rule
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 Minnesota dentists need?
50 hours per biennial renewal, under the Minnesota 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 Minnesota?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (self-study and online formats are broadly accepted within the rule), 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 — Minnesota’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.
