Infection Control
The CDC last updated the guidelines for infection control in dental offices in the December 19, 2003 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), Vol. 52, No. RR-17.
Please note: Not all OSHA courses will meet this requirement. Although there may be some overlap between OSHA training and infection control standards, not all OSHA courses address matters related to infection control. If your OSHA training includes a minimum of 1 hour focused on CDC guidelines for infection control in dental offices, that training will meet this requirement. Should you use an OSHA course to meet this requirement, you may be asked to submit evidence of the focus on infection control if you should be selected for continuing education audit.
The following providers offer continuing education courses in the area of infection control. Please note: You are not restricted to this list of infection control continuing education providers.

Opioids
Beginning in 2019, dentists who prescribe opioids during the previous biennium renewal period are required to complete a minimum of one hour of continuing education in the subject of opioids. The training shall include the following:
- Guidelines for prescribing opioids, including recommendations on limitations of dosages and the length of prescriptions;
- Risk factors for abuse; and
- Non-opioid and non-pharmacologic therapy options.
The continuing education course in opioids may be counted towards the renewal requirement of 30 hours of continuing education. In the event the course does not cover the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guideline for prescribing opioids for chronic pain, the licensee shall read the guideline prior to license renewal.
