Saskatchewan dentists are regulated by the College of Dental Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CDSS). Regular registrants must accumulate 90 credits during a rolling three-year period and remain current in CPR-C and AED certification. Specialists are expected to obtain at least half of their CE in their specialty; academic licence holders have reduced requirements.
Alongside the headline requirement, keep these on your radar:
- Current CPR-C and AED certification at all times
- Sedation-authorised dentists: applicable BLS/ACLS/PALS credentials plus the sedation standard's additional CE
- Specialists: at least half of CE in the registered specialty
Where free online CE fits: Free online CE counts toward Saskatchewan's 90 credits, and the rolling three-year window changes the rhythm: there is no cycle-end reset, so every month matters equally. Keep CPR-C and AED certification continuously current — it's a standing condition, not a credit item. 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 Saskatchewan
A rolling window rewards logging as you go: 30 credits a year keeps the trailing three-year total permanently satisfied, with no crunch. Specialists should watch the half-in-specialty expectation, and anyone holding a sedation authorisation carries the sedation standard's additional CE on top.
