If CE requirements are not met by the renewal deadline, DANB places the certification in a suspended status. The certificant can regain their active status by completing the CE credits and paying renewal fees.
CE activities must be relevant to dental assisting and align with DANB guidelines. Webinars, professional courses, and workshops that enhance dental skills are eligible for CE credit.
DANB requires CDA certificants to complete 12 CE credits annually, which can be earned through courses, seminars, or webinars that focus on relevant dental assisting topics.
CE helps certified dental assistants stay current with evolving practices, regulations, and technologies in the dental field, ensuring continued competency.
Using DANB’s online platform ensures a seamless process where CE credits are tracked and automatically applied toward recertification requirements, simplifying the renewal process.
