The next section will outline the benefits of attending Lunch and Learn events in addition to earning dental CE credits.
Online dental continuing education courses are an available option to earn CE credits. Commonly, these are offered as online certification courses or live webinars. Note that with live webinars, you are typically required to watch them as they are actively happening. While watching these webinars as a recording at a later date is beneficial, they may not count toward online CE credits.
Online courses provide the benefit of completing the CE credits from anywhere. Dentists will have the opportunity to select a course that best matches their schedule and participate from right where they are located. Before registering for a course, ensure that it meets both state and ADA requirements to receive CE credits.

- Dentist Events. As a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), dentists can receive CE credits for attending dentist events offered around the country.
- Local Labs. Contacting local dental labs can lead to CE credits. These labs often offer courses or interactive experiences where dentists can learn more about new techniques and modern technologies.
- Insurance Companies. Running a dental office means understanding every aspect of patient care, including billing and insurance. Certain insurance companies may offer brief courses regarding how to properly bill for insurance as a way to earn CE credits.
- Dental Readings. In certain states, dentists are able to use educational readings as a way to earn CE credits. These can be magazines, research articles, books, or more. If this route is available, dentists should keep track of their readings to earn credits.
- Manufacturers. Attending manufacturing open houses is a great way to earn CE credits. Dentists will have the opportunity to see firsthand the new technology and products being brought into the market.
In-person and hands-on experiences offer a great opportunity for dental continuing education. However, Lunch and Learns are viable options, especially for individuals who are unable to attend the above learning possibilities.
