What are the requirements to renew an EFDA permit?

Renewing an EFDA permit requires staying current with education and having a qualifying life-support credential. The best answer reflects 16 hours of continuing education and a current Basic Life Support (BLS) certificate. The CE hours ensure you keep up with updates in dental practice and safety, while BLS demonstrates you can handle basic life-support and emergency care if something goes wrong in the clinic. Shorter CE hours (8) or more than the standard (20) don’t match the required amount, and a CPR certificate alone isn’t the specified credential—BLS is the recognized standard and includes CPR/ AED skills needed for patient care.
