What happens if a dentist misses CE requirements in Massachusetts, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.

Licenses expire March 31 of even-numbered years. An expired license must be reactivated by paying all back biennial renewal fees ($360 per missed cycle) plus a one-time $57 late fee, documenting 40 CEUs per missed cycle (up to 80 hours), and passing the jurisprudence exam. Practicing on an expired license is practicing without a license and is subject to Board discipline.Verify with board
