Earning C.E.

We offer expansive opportunities for you to earn C.E.; however, the Dental Board of California regulates a maximum 8 hours of C.E. (1 C.E. credit = 1 Hour) earned in one day. 

You have the opportunity to submit your feedback through surveys after your courses. While not mandatory, we encourage you to participate and help guide future speaker and course selections. CDA also sends attendees a survey to capture their feedback on the overall convention experience. 

C.E. transcripts from the San Jose convention are now available to licensed attendees through their CDA accounts. Be sure to hold on to the three-digit code provided at courses, should it be needed to confirm C.E.

Here’s how to access your transcripts: 

  1. Visit cda.org and create an account if you don’t already have one.
  2. Once you are signed in, select “My Account.” Under “Your Profile,” click “Show C.E./Transcripts.”
  3. Filter your transcripts by the event or date range. If you took a livestream course, you will need to use the date range filter.
  4. Follow the prompts to review and print your C.E. certificate. 

Important Note: CDA follows the Dental Board of California C.E. provider requirements in issuing C.E. credits for license renewals. Information contained in promotional and electronic materials is subject to change and allowances for inaccuracies, omissions or modifications are not available.
