Pain, Pills and New Perceptions

The beauty of dentistry and medicine, in general, is the ever-present evolution and growth of evidence-based practices guided by novel understanding. The advancement of knowledge allows our “practice” of the healing arts, to be refined continuously to better serve our patients and customize treatment modalities for maximized efficacy in rendering patient care.

One More Chance to Meet CE Requirements

Nov 19, 2021
Have you met the Texas State Board of Dental Examiner’s new CE requirements yet? If not, we can help.

All dentists who provide direct patient care need to complete 4 hours every 2 years in controlled substance CE—even if you don’t have a DEA registration (Rule §104.1 (2)(B)). And if you do hold a DEA registration, you need to complete 2 hours of controlled substance CE within 1 year of the issue date (Rule §104.1 (2)(B)).

If you still need to meet these CE requirements, we have good news: we’ve added another date for our CE course that meets both requirements. That means you can get 6 hours’ worth of required CE with just this one, 4-hour course! We’re teaming up with UTHealth School of Dentistry at Houston’s PACE Center once again, to bring you this live, interactive webinar.
