Wisconsin dentists must complete 30 CE hours and dental hygienists 12 CE hours per biennial (2-year) renewal cycle, with the biennium running October 1 of an odd-numbered year to September 30 of the next odd-numbered year. There is no self-study cap — up to 100% of CE may be completed via home study/online. Dentists must include 2 hours on controlled-substance prescribing and keep at least 25 hours clinical; hygienists must include 2 hours of infection control (and may count no more than 2 hours of CPR/BLS).

Renewal
Every 2 years (biennial) in September odd years

Biennial; the CE biennium runs October 1 of an odd-numbered year through September 30 of the next odd-numbered year, and licenses renew by October 1 of odd-numbered years.

Online CE in Wisconsin: Wisconsin lets you complete up to 100% of your CE through independent study, correspondence, and internet-based (home study) programs — there is no self-study cap for either dentists (30 hours) or hygienists (12 hours). Home Study Solutions online courses can cover your entire requirement (dentists must still ensure at least 25 of the 30 hours are clinical dentistry/medicine and 2 hours cover controlled-substance prescribing).

Key Wisconsin requirements & rules:

  • Dentists: at least 25 of the 30 hours — instruction in clinical dentistry or clinical medicine
  • 2 hours — Prescribing of controlled substances for the treatment of dental pain (dentists)
  • 2 hours — Infection control (dental hygienists)
  • 5 hours maximum allowed for Practice Management
  • Hygienists: no more than 2 of the 12 hours may be satisfied by CPR/BLS training
  • No self-study cap — Wisconsin allows up to 100% of CE by home study/online for both dentists and hygienists
