What is the minimum continuing education requirement for dentists per biennium?

• A. 20 hours per biennium
• B. 40 hours per biennium
• C. 24 hours per biennium
• D. 30 hours per biennium

Answer: (D)

The essential idea is that dentists must complete a set amount of continuing education to maintain their license, with a fixed minimum each renewal cycle. In Florida, at least 30 hours of approved continuing education are required every biennium, which is the two-year renewal period. This minimum ensures practitioners stay current with evolving standards and practices in dentistry. While you can complete more than 30 hours, 30 is the required floor; the other numbers fall short of the state requirement (and would not meet licensure needs).
