The New Mexico Board of Dental Health Care sets New Mexico's requirement — 60 hours per triennial 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).
Watch the specifics as much as the total — New Mexico's standing expectations:
- An infection control course each cycle
- Up to 30 of the 60 may be home study
Fitting free webinars into this: ADA CERP and AGD PACE recognition is what the free certificated platforms here are built on, and it is what boards look for. Spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month — treat it as a routine rather than a deadline and the requirement takes care of itself.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do New Mexico dentists need?
60 hours per triennial renewal, under the New Mexico Board of Dental Health Care. 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 Mexico?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (up to 30 of the 60 may be home study), and the free certificated platforms in this directory can carry a large share of a triennial cycle.
Is CPR required?
Most boards expect current CPR/BLS certification as a standing matter — New Mexico’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.
