They are not based on the date of initial licensure. Renewal information will be mailed to the current address of the license holder approximately two months before the license expires. In addition, 30 hours of continuing education must be completed during each two-year renewal cycle.Dental hygienists may also choose to obtain a license with local anesthesia permit. Additional education is required. This license also expires on the 31st of May of even-numbered years.
