Pennsylvania Dentistry CE audits & penalties

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

Dentists who fail to renew by March 31 of odd-numbered years are prohibited from practicing (49 Pa. Code §33.105). Reactivation of an expired or inactive license requires the renewal fee plus a $5/month penalty for any period of practice while expired or inactive; licenses inactive or expired 5+ years also require a CV, letters of good standing, and retaking the clinical examination (if not in active practice elsewhere).Verify with board

How compliance is checked

No audit process appears in the available data. Keep your certificates regardless — boards can request proof of completion at renewal or during an investigation.
