The season of Ohio dental license renewal is about to begin. This year, there is a very important new step that oral and maxillofacial surgeons must follow:
General anesthesia permits will no longer be automatically renewed with your dental license.
Separate Renewal Process: Renewing your general anesthesia license now requires a second, separate process in the Ohio eLicense system.
Firm Deadline: Renewal must be completed by December 31, 2025.
Failure to renew on time will result in immediate loss of the license.
There is no extension or grace period.
Once lapsed, the only way to regain the license is to submit a new application that meets all current requirements, including a full office evaluation by the Ohio Dental Board
