Online CE courses for dentists and staff.

State boards set the hours. This page only lists online continuing-education sources the earlier article already named for dentists, assistants, and hygienists. The address says cosmetic dentists. The earlier title was broader, and the names below are not limited to cosmetic topics.

Free hours from an insurer or a manufacturer still have to count in your state. Price is not the same thing as accepted credit.

How this shortlist was built

This is not a scored ranking. Dental Country kept the organization names already published on this URL, removed template star ratings and review counts, and removed paid pricing forms. Names that were not already here were not added. The organizations were not re-audited for this update. Order follows the earlier page so a name is easy to find. It is not a quality score, and it is not pay-to-rank.

Commercial disclosure

Dental Country sells advertising. See Advertise With Us. A name on this page is not an endorsement, a testimonial, or proof that anyone paid for the slot. Earlier versions of the dental marketing, SEO, and website-design pages linked to O360 at o360.com with advertising campaign parameters, and some of those pages included pricing forms. Those blocks are not in this version. O360 remains only where it was already named. Treat that overlap as something to scrutinize, not as a rank. Confirm current services, pricing, licensing, and references with the organization before you hire or enroll.

What to compare

Check the credit, the audience, and the catalog date.

• Match the course to the license you are renewing. Dentist credit and staff credit are not always the same approval.
• Ask whether the provider claims ADA CERP or AGD PACE, then confirm that claim with the provider and your board.
• Prefer a course outline and a completion date you can print. A forum thread is not a certificate.
• If a manufacturer sponsors the course, read whether the credit is education or a product module.
• Staff courses and dentist courses can live on the same site and still have different approvals.

Names kept from the earlier page

Notes on the earlier draft

The heading NetCE by American Dental Association states a relationship this rewrite did not verify. The course URL from the old page is kept so you can check it.

The earlier page said Procter and Gamble offered more than 150 free courses and that Spear listed a very large catalog. Those counts are not repeated as current.

Spear Education is also on the consultant shortlist because that page described consulting, not only courses.

These are the other rewritten shortlists for practices. Specialty clones, non-dental lists, and pages still under review are not linked here.
