RENEWAL NOTICE
Please be advised that we are in the process of changing over to a new online renewal and continuing education system. As a result, we are unable to change the questions on the current sytem. In the affidavit of your licensure application renewal where it states the timeframe for continuing education of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021 there is only 40 hours required instead of the listed 60. The statute was changed to a 2-year cycle two years ago, however the online system has not been able to be update to reflect the statutory change.
If you have renewed online and have not received your license or permit in the mail within one month after you renewed, please email us at

Dear Dental Professionals:
Fake Calls
In the past 3 days, the Oklahoma Board of Dentistry has received multiple reports from OK Dentists about a potential scammer. According to these dentists, the scammer stated he was with the Board of Dentistry and the caller ID even read Board of Dentistry. The scammers, who were all male with foreign accents, told the dentists they were "under investigation" and asked them to call another number, or in at least one instance, transferred the call to another person supposedly working for the FBI. In another instance, the scammer provided the dentist with a poor attempted at an official looking document that contained a former Board president's name and signature. The document read that the dentist's license was suspended and he needed to surrender his license to a law enforcement agency. Thankfully, all the dentists that we've heard from did recognize the scam and no confidential data was breached, nor money lost. It is unclear what the scammers want, but the Board would like you to know an investigation would never be handled this way. It is possible that a Board investigator would call and inquire about something, but never in the case of a Board investigation or to suspend a license.
Sincerely,
Oklahoma Board of Dentistry
