Primary source: Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board (DSPS) — official site. Requirements on this page are summarised from the Board's published rules — always confirm the current rules at the source.
Wisconsin's rulebook comes from the Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board (DSPS), and the number that matters is 30 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).
The board attaches named requirements beyond the total — these are the ones that catch people at audit:
- Online and self-study formats are broadly accepted within the rule (Wisconsin's dentist CE requirement is a relatively recent addition — a reminder that these rules do change)
Fitting free webinars into this: 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 Wisconsin dentists need?
30 hours per biennial renewal, under the Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board (DSPS). 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 Wisconsin?
Yes — recognised-provider online courses are accepted within the rule’s format parameters (online and self-study formats are broadly accepted within the rule (Wisconsin's dentist CE requirement is a relatively recent addition — a reminder that these rules do change)), 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 — Wisconsin’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.
