For the dental profession that means that dentists, hygienists and EFDAs need two hours of Department of Human Services and State Board of Dentistry approved CE in child abuse recognition and reporting every relicensure period. PDA’s in-person program, Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting for Dental Professionals, is custom designed for dental professionals, fulfills the Act 31 requirement and offers two CE credits that can be applied toward the hours you need to renew your dental license.
