An expired license may be renewed within 4 years of expiration by paying the renewal fee plus the $100 renewal penalty fee and completing escalating CE hours (30/60 for hygienists by cycle). A licensee who fails to renew may not perform any licensed act until the license is properly renewed. After 4 years the license is void and the hygienist must reapply as an original applicant.Verify with board
