Primary source: Mississippi 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.
Mississippi's rulebook comes from the Mississippi State Board of Dental Examiners, and the number that matters is 40 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 board attaches named requirements beyond the total — these are the ones that catch people at audit:
- Up to 10 of the 40 may be home study
On free online CE specifically: recognised-provider courses (ADA CERP, AGD PACE) are the practical standard, and the free certificated platforms in this directory publish on exactly those recognitions. Spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month — a free lunchtime webinar habit retires the cycle with nothing spent.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do Mississippi dentists need?
40 hours per biennial renewal, under the Mississippi State Board of Dental Examiners. 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 Mississippi?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (up to 10 of the 40 may be home study), 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 — Mississippi’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.
