ATTENTION! FULFILL ACT 31 CE REQUIREMENT FOR 2017 Act 31 mandated that all dentists, hygienists and EFDAs applying for the renewal of a license issued by the State Board of Dentistry need two hours of Department of Human Services (DHS) and state board approved CE in child abuse recognition and reporting every relicensure period.
