Primary source: New Jersey 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.

Dentists in New Jersey renew under the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry; the headline requirement is 40 credits per biennial renewal. The detail that matters most for readers of this directory is the delivery rule: commonly cited cap of 20 of the 40 via home study/online. The figures here reflect commonly published summaries of the rules; requirements change, so verify against the Board’s current guidance before you plan a full cycle.

Beyond the raw number, New Jersey names specific obligations worth diarising:

• Topic mandates (e.g. opioid/controlled-substance education for prescribers) apply periodically — confirm the current list with the Board

On free online CE specifically: the Board recognises Board-recognised providers; ADA CERP and AGD PACE recognition is the practical benchmark, which covers most providers in this directory — so a certificated free webinar is creditable CE with a proper paper trail. Compliance is attestation-based: attestation with random audit; keep certificates. Log each course the day you finish it with the free CE tracker (set the US preset to your cycle), and see the US CE guide for the national picture.
