What are Massachusetts BORID CE Courses?

In Massachusetts, dental professionals are required to complete continuing education (CE) courses to maintain their licensure. These courses are regulated by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Dentistry (BORID). Below are the essential CE courses needed for biennial license renewal:

Mandatory CE Courses for License Renewal

  • Infection Control: Courses on maintaining sterility and preventing infections in the dental office are mandatory for all dental professionals.
  • Pain Management/Opioid Education: Due to the opioid crisis, Massachusetts requires dental professionals to undertake courses on pain management and the safe prescription of opioids.
  • CPR Certification: Regular CPR certification is often required for licensure.
