This is very relevant when it comes to the health profession and its practitioners. When one first begins learning a trade,he or she receives basic education and training to perform their skill. However, once they enter their chosen field, they find that there are many new applications and layers of knowledge that they must learn. For instance, dental hygienists must keep up with their continuing education.. While, computer technicians attend conferences and seminars to inform themselves on upcoming coding, software, and other advancements.

And certainly a well rounded dentist is one that keeps learning and continues their education.

However, for general dentists, it is still vital that they continue their education once they’ve left school. Particularly, they can explore what are called Continuing Education.

Continuing Education for general dentistry is studying a new body of knowledge that has gone through clinical trials and evidence-based scientific processes that upholds and improves general dentistry. They tend to focus on a condition or method that general dentistry covers and tries to explore it to its limits.

A dentist doesn’t have to take on interest areas, but if they do, they don’t simply take it on as a hobby. They rigorously follow through on it and get accredited by the American Dental Association once they’ve shown competency in this new area.

When your dentist continues on with his or her education, they’re proving that they’re putting their patients’ interests first. They want their patient care to be at the forefront of medical innovation.

In Illinois, the state has now a mandatory continuing education requirements for dentists and dental hygienists. For dentists practicing in Illinois, they must get 48 CE hours in a three-year period.
