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

Michigan publishes no monetary late fee for health-profession renewals; an expired dentist license lapses and the dentist must apply for relicensure, with added CE and possible examination requirements if lapsed 3+ years (relicensure by examination if lapsed 5+ years without another-state license). Practicing dentistry under a lapsed license is a felony under MCL 333.16294.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Renewal is by online attestation that the 60-hour triennial CE requirements were met (official LARA renewal checklist).
