Dentists and dental assistants work to improve and maintain the oral health of their patients through dental exams, x-rays, cleanings and other types of maintenance.

In order to maintain their license, a certain number of hours must be attended in dental continuing education courses.
The field of dentistry has come a long way thanks to technology. A trip to the dentist's office no longer carries the ominous tone that it used to.

A dentist or dental assistant looking to fulfill the required number of hours to meet state requirements has only to turn to the nearest internet connection to do so.
Credit for these courses is given in the form of credit hours. Credit hours received from dental continuing education courses are reported to the state by the provider of the continuing education activity. These hours, recorded under the licensee's name, will show that state requirements are being met and the dentist or dental assistant is practicing within the confines of the law.
