Why Continuing Education Is Becoming More Important

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The world of Dentistry is a world which keeps moving, much like the world we all live in today. Technology and new innovations alter old ways of working, which means we must adapt and change with it. Therefore, as dentists we must take part in continuing education to ensure we stay up-to-date with the latest dental techniques so we are proficient in everything from preventive care and diagnostics, to treatment and surgical techniques. There are other advantages to completing these continuing education credits, including employability for other dental jobs, which we will go on to explain in due course.

Improve upon your existing knowledge

Continuing education enables you to improve your knowledge in all aspects of dentistry. A dentist who qualified say 30 years ago, will not have the same knowledge of modern techniques that a recently qualified dentist will have, so continuing education ensures all dentists, no matter when they qualified, all have the knowledge of the latest techniques.

Refine your techniques

Continuing education allows you to refine and improve your previously learned dental techniques, leading to better and more efficient treatment for patients. This ensures that patients get the best treatments possible.

Renewal of your dental license

Every state has their own different rules with regards to the renewal of dental licenses, and some states are stricter than others when it comes to the number of continuing education credits that you should have. Make sure you check the rules in your state and ensure you build up the necessary number of credits to make the renewal of your licence a foregone conclusion.

Improve your resume

The more techniques you learn as part of the continuing education program, the more employable you become. This leads to greater opportunities and potentially greater wages in the future. If you go above the minimum number of credits, future employers will notice that you have shown initiative and that you have a real passion for dentistry, which will improve your chances of landing your dream job.  

Network with like-minded individuals

Continuing education courses are normally conducted in large teaching groups. This means you will most likely interact with other dentists. These dental courses are a great way to network with others, and you never know, it could open doors to a once in a lifetime job opportunity.

Continuing education is crucial to success in Dentistry, and the dental employer you work for should support you in your endeavours. If you are looking to use your newly acquired credits to boost your application for a job, have a look on DentReps using the dental jobs near me tool to find the best job opening for you.
