What is the maximum number of continuing education credits that can be written or electronic?

The maximum number of continuing education credits that can be earned through written or electronic courses is 10. This limit reflects the regulatory guidelines established by the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry, which seek to ensure that dental hygienists engage in a variety of learning formats. By capping the credits from these specific types of education, the Board encourages professionals to participate in diverse learning experiences, enhancing their skills and knowledge through in-person courses, workshops, and other interactive formats. This balance aims to maintain a high standard of care and professionalism within the field of dental hygiene.
