What percentage of CE credits can be awarded for licensees participating in dental board or other dental-related activities?

The correct percentage for Continuing Education (CE) credits awarded for licensees participating in dental board or other dental-related activities is 20%. This aligns with California Dental Law, which recognizes that engagement in these types of activities contributes significantly to a dentist's professional development and the continuing education requirements mandated for license renewal.

Active involvement in dental boards, committees, or related activities underscores a dentist's commitment to the profession and enhances their understanding of regulatory issues, ethical practices, and advances in dental science. As a result, the California Dental Board allows licensees to earn a specified portion of their necessary CE credits through these valuable contributions, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and responsibility within the field.

This allows dental professionals to stay informed about current trends, regulations, and best practices, which ultimately benefits patient care and the profession as a whole.
