How does C.E. credit work?  How do I know the number of hours I earn with each course?
For Louisiana dentists, hygienists and technicians: a unique code number will be provided for each course.  The first half of the code will be provided prior to the start of the lecture and the final half will be provided upon the conclusion of each session.  You should record that code on your continuing education form next to the corresponding lecture.  The unique code will verify your attendance and serve as your C.E. credit.

The New Orleans Dental Conference and LDA Annual Session provides one hour of credit for each hour of lecture.

AGD members should mail their forms to:

          Dental Education Service Assistant, Academy of General Dentistry

          211 E. Chicago Ave., Ste 900
          Chicago, IL 60611

ADA CERP is a service of the American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providers of continuing dental education.  ADA CERP does not approve or endorse individual courses or instructions, nor does it imply acceptance of credit hours by boards of dentistry.  The LDA and NODA designate this activity for up to 18 continuing eduction credit.
