Primary source: West Virginia 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.
The West Virginia Board of Dentistry sets West Virginia's requirement — 35 hours per biennial 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 — West Virginia's standing expectations:
- Two hours covering infection control, occupational hazards, or the oral effects of tobacco or substance use
- Up to 17 of the 35 may be home study
Where this directory helps: recognised-provider courses (ADA CERP, AGD PACE) are the practical standard, and the free certificated platforms in this directory publish on exactly those recognitions. Spread across the cycle it’s roughly two certificated hours a month — a free lunchtime webinar habit retires the cycle with nothing spent.

Frequently asked questions
How many CE hours do West Virginia dentists need?
35 hours per biennial renewal, under the West Virginia 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 West Virginia?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (up to 17 of the 35 may be home study), 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 — West Virginia’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.
