Accreditation
The
Illinois Dental Practice Act requires dental hygienists to complete
thirty-six (36) hours of continued dental education (CE) during each three
year licensing period ending on September 30th. The Practice Act also
requires dental hygienists to hold current CPR certification, hours for CPR
cannot be utilized for CE requirements. WSDHS sponsored courses are
accepted by the State of Illinois Department of Professional Regulation for
license renewal. Other state's regulatory bodies may deem these courses
unacceptable to meet their re-licensure requirements. For a copy of the Illinois practice act

WSDHS hosts monthly continuing education
meetings.
