Primary source: New Hampshire Board of Dental Examiners (OPLC) — official site. Requirements on this page are summarised from the Board's published rules — always confirm the current rules at the source.
New Hampshire's rulebook comes from the New Hampshire Board of Dental Examiners (OPLC), 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 total is only half the story; these standing expectations sit alongside it:
- The rule caps self-study within the 40 — check the current split before planning a fully online cycle
Fitting free webinars into this: the major free platforms in this directory publish under ADA CERP and AGD PACE recognition, which is the currency most state rules trade in. Spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month, so a regular free webinar slot in the diary carries the cycle comfortably.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do New Hampshire dentists need?
40 hours per biennial renewal, under the New Hampshire Board of Dental Examiners (OPLC). 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 New Hampshire?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (the rule caps self-study within the 40 — 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 — New Hampshire’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.
