How often must dental assistants renew their licenses?

Dental assistants in Texas are required to renew their licenses every two years. This renewal period is standard to ensure that dental assistants remain up to date with the latest practices in the field, maintaining their competencies and knowledge as well as complying with state regulations. Regular renewal not only helps keep the workforce current but also protects patient safety by ensuring that all practicing dental assistants have met the continuing education and training requirements established by the State Board of Dental Examiners.
