Dentists in Newfoundland and Labrador are regulated by the Newfoundland and Labrador Dental Board. The Board has confirmed that continuing education returns to a three-year cycle after 31 August 2025; its previous published guidelines required 60 credits (over a temporary four-year cycle to 2025, and 60 credits over the preceding three-year programme), but a newly published guideline confirming the current numerical total was not available at the time of writing — contact the Board for the current credit requirement.
Alongside the headline requirement, keep these on your radar:
- Three-year cycle confirmed from 31 August 2025
- Prior programmes required 60 credits — confirm the current total with the Board
- Keep verifiable records of completed courses
Where free online CE fits: Certificated free courses will fit whatever total the Board confirms — its prior programmes required 60 credits, and the three-year cycle is already confirmed. Until the new guideline publishes, pace against the historic 60 while verifying the current figure with the Board. Log each course the day you finish it with the free CE tracker (pick your province from the Canada presets — cycle dates and targets are preloaded), and see the Canada CE guide for the national picture.
Planning a cycle in Newfoundland and Labrador
Practical approach while the number is pending: assume ~20 credits a year (the historic pace), keep every certificate, and check the Board's site each renewal. Being slightly ahead of a requirement that may confirm at 60 costs nothing; being behind one that confirms higher does.
