Primary source: Oregon 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.
For Oregon the Oregon Board of Dentistry is the authority, and 40 hours per biennial renewal is the figure to plan around — 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:
- Three hours in managing medical emergencies each cycle
- Two hours of infection control each cycle
- An Oregon-specific pain management requirement applies — check the Board's current rule for the format
- Online study is broadly accepted within the rule
Where this directory helps: 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 Oregon dentists need?
40 hours per biennial renewal, under the Oregon Board of Dentistry. 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 Oregon?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (online study is broadly accepted within the rule), 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 — Oregon’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.
